This PR fixes an issue where text fields in popup UI (modal/popover presentations) would incorrectly move to the top of the screen when the keyboard appeared, instead of maintaining proper positioning relative to their container.

Problem

The issue occurred because the coordinate conversion logic assumed rootController.view.superview would always be a valid coordinate space. However, in modal presentations, this property is often nil, causing coordinate conversions to return incorrect values (typically {0,0,0,0}). This resulted in wildly incorrect position calculations that made text fields appear to "jump" to the screen top.

Root Cause

The problematic code was present in multiple locations:

Swift version:

let textInputViewRectInRootSuperview: CGRect = superview.convert(textInputView.frame,
                                                                 to: rootController.view.superview)

Objective-C version:

CGRect textFieldViewRectInRootSuperview = [[textFieldView superview] convertRect:textFieldView.frame toView:rootController.view.superview];

Solution

Implemented smart fallback logic that uses window coordinates as an intermediate step when rootController.view.superview is nil:

  1. Convert text field frame to window coordinates (always works)
  2. Convert from window coordinates to root view coordinates (provides correct relative positioning)

This approach maintains proper positioning for modal presentations while preserving existing behavior for regular presentations.

Changes Made

  • Swift: IQKeyboardManagerSwift/IQKeyboardManager/IQKeyboardManager+Position.swift
  • Objective-C: IQKeyboardManager/IQKeyboardManager.m

Fixed coordinate conversion in all affected locations:

  • Main text field positioning logic
  • Table view cell positioning calculations
  • Collection view cell positioning calculations
  • Text view content inset adjustments

Verification

  • ✅ No breaking changes to existing API
  • ✅ Backwards compatible with all presentation styles
  • ✅ Maintains performance (minimal additional nil checks)
  • ✅ Fixes the exact issue shown in the provided screenshots

The fix ensures text fields in popup scenarios maintain proper positioning when the keyboard appears, resolving the issue where they would incorrectly jump to the screen top.

Fixes #2101.
