(I reported these issues in the #neatirc channel in omg.lol's IRC network, though I am also creating an issue in the SourceTube repository to make it easier to keep track of)

I tried NeatIRC with Firefox on my Android phone. The button to send message gets cut off at the right edge of my screen because of the wide input field. I had done the hamburger menu force refresh.

Also, when I tried to type in the input field, the web page will not move up to accommodate the touch screen keyboard, causing the keyboard to block the message input field entirely.

EDIT: I tried NeatIRC on Vivaldi for Android, and the UI appears as normal, so the above UI issues may be a Firefox issue, though it is still worth noting.

I just figured out that the cause of my issue with the send button being cut off at the right edge of the screen was because I adjusted my Android setting to have a larger font, and the accessibility settings in Firefox for Android enables automatic font sizing by default, which makes it follow your Android system's font settings.

Turning off the automatic font sizing and let the font size be 100% (the default value) makes the UI appear normally.

My issue of Firefox for Android blocking the message input still exists, however.

Firefox just got updated on my Android phone, and now the message input field does realiably move up when the touch screen keyboard pops up, but parts of the input field and button get blocked by the keyboard.
