Enter name dialog (screen keyboard) overlaps name field [Fire TV]

Hello Huki and everybody!
I ran into this problem with latest RVGL on Fire TV: I have created a profile and set up everything. When I go to start a race, RVGL asks again for the player's name, despite I have just selected a profile. This is a little bit confusing, as I do not understand why the name has to be entered here. I thought that each player (with her/his name) has her/his own profile, right? Anyway, that is not the main problem. The main problem is that on the Fire TV, a box with letters and some additional characters (soft keyboard, screen keyboard - how is this correctly named?) to enter the name is displayed. I understood that this belongs rather to the Fire TV and not to RVGL and is displayed as on the Fire TV, you usually have no keyboard. And this box/screen keyboard hides the text box with the player's name, so you cannot see what has been typed so far. If you delete a character to correct something, you will not see the changes, because that text field is behind that box/screen keyboard. I have made a screenshot for illustration; however, I seem to be unable to upload any images here. Any hints about this or about the topic? Thanks for your help.
