Why is my keyboard orientation getting stuck

[Android Central Question]

Sometimes when I pull out my phone and start to text in portrait orientation my messages and notification bar show up correctly, but I can only see the left half of the keyboard. It's like its stuck in landscape mode even though it oriented correctly at the bottom of the screen.

It may help members to reply if you mention what phone. This may be why you’ve had no reply in 12h.

I've never heard of that problem. If it were me, I'd do a factory reset and if the problem persisted I'd contact Google.

Welcome to Android Central! Does this persist after a reboot? If so, then see if it also happens in Safe Mode: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2852139?hl=en
