Google keyboard not appearing automatically

Have a bit of an emergency where after the latest Gboard update, when users tap an input field, instead of Gboard just showing up as normal, a menu bubble is appearing instead where they have to tap it and select the "show on screen keyboard" option.  I haven't been able to locate Google's release notes for Gboard to see if there was something that changed.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Lizzie, we're good at this point.  We were able to find the app config setting to just force the on-screen keyboard to always show.  I did see that a new Gboard version came out early last week, but we haven't had a chance yet to see if the issue was also resolved in Gboard itself.  Does Google publish release notes for apps like Gboard?

    I’ve run into the same issue after the recent Gboard update seems like a temporary bug.
