iPad Pro Pogo pins cause virtual keyboard to disappear.

[romanof]

Ipad Pro 13" 1tb.
I have developed a weird problem that a total reset and reload (twice) does not fix.
My iPad is on a magnetic arm (usually) that has the normal pogo pins for recharging.
It has been working since June of 24. It has the latest updates. Since I use it for mostly podcasts and surfing, it has no far out apps. In fact, it has very few downloaded apps.

If I have the virtual keyboard up and am holding the ipad it works fine. Plug it into the mag mount and the keyboard instantly disappears. Pull it loose and back comes the keyboard.

Plugging in the USB C charge cable directly to the iPad still allows for the keyboard to appear.

Simple troubleshooting routine.
Unhook power from the mount, no change.
Pull iPad off of mount, keyboard appears.
Put it back on, keyboard disappears.
Put masking tape over the pogo pins and mount, keyboard does not disappear.

Problem found! Nothing to do with the magnet. Pogo pin activation makes keyboard disappear.

But, searching for pogo pins causes keyboard to disappear gets zero replies of any use.
Apple support instantly says get another mag mount. Goodbye.
I can find no switch in the iPadOS to affect this problem.

So...

Any suggestions anybody?

🤔 Since the only Apple products that provide power through those pins, are actual keyboards... sounds like this might just be "how it's designed." Submit feedback, I guess - apple.com/feedback

The problem with that theory is that it worked fine in the same configuration for over a year.
