Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

[Roger Eller]

This appears to be an old problem (2012).  I don't know if there was ever a
solution.  A best practice was to position any input fields in the top
third of the screen.  I agree with the consensus that it should be handled
automatically, but it is not, obviously.
