I get a text, the LED flashes and whatever alert/vibration goes off. So I tab down to the Text tab or Alerts tab and tap on the new text. The Text Message screen comes up, but the keypad is not up and no cursor in the text entry box. So I have to tap in the entry box and then the keypad comes up and and the cursor is in the entry box. I start to type, but the first letter I type appears and then immediately disappears! So if I don't remember to type the first letter twice I end up having to backspace and retype the word. VERY annoying. WAY too many screen taps just to reply to a text imo.
That's a EZINPUT issue I believe. I use Fingerboard and SPB, when I reply to a message (text or email) it opens the message and puts the cursor where I need it with the keyboard popped up.

I think the texting app in Manilla is nice for replies. It's integration with Windows is poor and seeing conversations with other people is difficult. Overall, imo, Manilla has a lot of inefficiencies.
