Summary iPadOS window.visualViewport.height incorrect when using external keyboard

Steps to reproduce: 1. Have an iPad with a Magic Keyboard or other external keyboard so that the soft keyboard doesn't show up 2. Go to the repro (I stole from another issue): https://matan-hershberg-nuance.github.io/ios15-beta-visualviewport-bug/ 3. tap in and out of the inputbox switching from showing the auto-complete and not 4. minimize the autocomplete too Since the autocomplete UX is now "floating" instead of an entire bar across the screen, I expect that the visualViewport Height wouldn't change upon showing the autocomplete... but it does. On my iPad Pro I can see the VisualViewport Height go from 727 when the input box isn't selected: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2644648/199658322-ff1d64b6-09d6-497d-a7ee-abfd08980145.png to 658 when the input box is selected: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2644648/199658208-13cb1992-c5cc-4e3f-9aac-b4452e896b97.png

Coming back to this as we have heard complaints from more users. We considered using `body.clientHeight` as a workaround, but unfortunately, this does not update when a user triggers the _virtual_ keyboard. ...and that, has been a 12 year problem of detecting when a user opens the virtual problem sadly: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2593139/ipad-web-app-detect-virtual-keyboard-using-javascript-in-safari hoping to wave and say a fix for this is very much wanted 🙏

Just wanted to chime in and say this is still an issue and we continue to get issues opened on us for this behavior.

Just chiming in to say that this issue still exists on iPad and would be great if this could be fixed. 🙏🏻
