App resizes regardless of KeyboardShrinksView settings

Hello,

Originally I was setting this option in the config.xml file until I realized it is actually only available after installing the keyboard plugin first and is not included with the core APIs shown when following the docs. So I installed the keyboard plugin, but this option still does not work. The keyboard resizing also introduces an app breaking bug which is the reason I am trying to disable it. See example screenshot here:

essentially when the keyboard comes up my application attempts to resize but half/over half is rendered completely black (its as though the resizing is incorrectly calculating the new size). This error disappears if I include "heigh=device-height" in my meta tag for the index.html, but it is explicitly stated in the documentation that this should not be used, and indeed it does introduce some unwanted styling into the application (using this meta tag disables resizing on rotation in our application). However, this leads me to believe that it is indeed the resizing that is causing this bug.

My config.xml
