Bug Description

Expected behavior:
While using a terminal for input with the on screen keyboard, if the prompt for next input falls below where the keyboard is positioned, the window should resize (adding scrollbars) and fill the space above the keyboard.

What actually happens:

The terminal prompt remains out of view requiring manual re-positioning for further use, granted you can continue to type there as it doesn't prevent you from doing so, but you can't verify syntax without manually moving anything.

I can confirm this. Marking as low since it is a usability/ui bug rather than a core bug, which is our focus.

Easy workaround is to maximize the window, which doesn't hide any of the screen behind Onboard. And if you have trouble tapping the maximize button, you can always type Ubuntu+Up with Onboard and it will maximize the terminal for you.
