"The page focus bumps up to the top of the page" - you mean the page is scrolled to the top or the cursor moves to the top?
The page scrolls up, the cursor is correctly positioned with the fix of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66697

Correction: the page doesn't scroll up. It should scroll up when the keyboard opens and covers up the cursor. Instead, the page stays in place.
This is because we no longer scroll the whole page on iOS (we scroll inside of a div) and Safari's default mechanism for preventing the cursor from being covered by the keyboard doesn't work anymore (that's my guess).
I think an easy solution would be to implement scrolling the CE on focus in such a way that the cursor ends up being close to the top of the screen. This way the keyboard won't occult it. We have to keep in mind though that this code should only run on iOS (which is easy because we already let MobileViewTarget know that we're on iOS using isIos config argument).
