Gutenberg-mobile: Cannot dismiss keyboard while editing in landscape mode on Android

[designsimply]

Describe the bug

Tapping "Done" while editing a paragraph block in landscape mode creates a new paragraph block and immediately opens edit mode again without showing the new content or dismissing the keyboard—if you leave the post and re-open it, the page looks blank even if you had added content previously. (1m17s)

To Reproduce

1. Go to My Sites > Pages > +.
2. Rotate the device to landscape mode.
3. Tap the "Start writing…" prompt (the default first block).
4. Tap the "Done" button.
5. Tap the "Done" button a few more times.
6. Try adding some text.
7. Tap the "Done" button.
8. Rotate the device back to portrait mode.
9. Tap the back button to leave the page.
10. Notice that the page was saved as a draft.
11. Re-open the post and notice that the content area is blank.
12. Close and re-open the post again and notice that the content area is no longer blank.

Expected behavior

I expect to be able to edit page content in landscape mode and tap "Done" to return to the post normally and that re-opening a new page after editing will show the same content that it did previously.

I'm not sure about that, should we only return to "view" mode when the user hides the keyboard? This fullscreen view is not the best experience IMO, I thought we wanted to change that but I can't find any related ticket. cc @iamthomasbishop

I wasn't able to reproduce the blank page situation. I wonder if this is an unrelated problem (thi might be a sync issue).

This was actually implemented: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile/pull/1842 and reverted: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile/pull/1989

Thanks for having a look! I've now found that the empty page issue is separate and was filed at https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/11339 and partially fixed in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/11568 (props @jd-alexander 🎉) with one remaining issue being tracked at https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/11539. 👍

So the next step for this issue is to get design input/feedback on the fullscreen view.

In the meantime while this ticket gets more reviewing, adding it to the [Flow: Improvements] project to keep it in the radar.
