What's Wrong?

When using Claude in iOS via the dictation mode (not conversation mode), if the dictation is more than a few minutes in length, the app consistently blocks me from being able to submit the transcription.

It seems to be related to the length of the transcription. After completing the dictation, I can see my transcription on screen, but the submit button has been pushed off screen (I'm assuming by the long transcription text). There is no way to select the text or take any further action in that session without leaving the session and then re-entering it. This process clears the transcribed text from memory and the user is forced to re-dictate (in shorter segments to prevent the issue from happening again).

What Should Happen?

Ideally the text input controls are kept at the bottom of the screen at all times - regardless of how long the input text is. Longer text should just scroll within a fixed height container. Text should also always be selectable.

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in a previous version

Last Working Version

At one point, leaving and re-entering session wouldn't clear the transcription. Now it does.
