In apps where you need to use the keyboard (i.e. to fill in a text field, log in, enter some name) but then the remainder of the app is finger-friendly... how do you dismiss the keyboard? Under the stock ROM, as I recall, the keyboard icon at the bottom-center called and dismissed the keyboard, and had a pulldown menu for which kind of data entry you wanted to use. In the Sep14 ENERGY build (and really in each of the preceding versions, as far as I know) the keyboard icon calls the keyboard but then only allows you to select which one you want to use. I can't get rid of it, pressing on a non-text field area doesn't dismiss it, and it significantly reduces the visible area of the app above.

Is there a registry tweak that addresses this, or am I gonna have to just learn to live with it?

Ok so remember in the old days how there used to be a button at the bottom center that toggled the SIP (keyboard) on and off and a little drop-down arrow to the right of it that allowed to select from various SIPs? Well they are still there underneath the skin that is WM6.5.x. So basically you have to click on the left half of the SIP icon to toggle it and the right half (roughly) to bring up the list of SIPs to choose from.
