Steps to reproduce the bug
Hold down a key so that the popup keyboard shows up
Expected behavior
The popup keyboard should align with the key that was pressed, even if it bumps into the side of the keyboard. Once a certain length is reached (say, 4-6 characters), it should create multiple rows.
Actual behavior
The popup keyboard does not align with the key that was pressed when it bumps into the side of the keyboard. It does not create multiple rows after a certain length. This causes the second-row popup keyboards on the L and A key to be off, since the second row is shifted by 5% (or rather 50% width of a key).
I filed it as a bug, instead of a feature, since in some languages the popup keys can be necessary for regular typing, causing an annoyance, as can be seen by my modified German keyboard that displays the ä when I press a, but shifted by half a key. Although I am sure there are plenty of languages that require those special "a" characters frequently.
