Remove buggy bottom padding in Gboard

Question

My phone woke up in my pocket, I don't know how long, and now I have this big margin in Gboard.

All other functionalities look ok. Tried rebooting, but no luck there. The phone is a Poco X5 Pro.

How can I fix my keyboard?

If you’re not taking up all the available space, you can move the keyboard. If you drag it up, you’ll see empty space beneath the last row/spacebar. [...]
