Soft Navigation Bar Overlays App in Lollipop

In Android Lollipop (most recent dev preview, build LPX13D) on my Nexus 5, an app I am writing seems to be hidden below the soft navigation bar (the bar with Back, Home, and App History buttons). I cannot duplicate this on a Nexus 4 running Kit Kat (nothing gets hidden behind the navigation bar).

What do I have to do shrink the app's viewport so that all of my content can be seen on screen?

EDIT:

Screenshots, as requested.

After a ton of testing, I have discovered it is an issue with the SlidingMenu library. I wasn't able to fix it nor was I able to find a root cause other than it involving the option to slide the action bar.

I have posted an issue on the library's GitHub to hopefully get either a fix to the library or a solution.

EDIT (2014-11-04): As a quick follow up, a user posted in the above issue that it is related to the Material theme and that using the Holo theme will avoid this issue. I was able to confirm this. So we will likely need to wait for a fix to SlidingMenu before using it with the Material theme.
