I know. When I said "Soft Input Panel", that is the on screen keyboard. You'll see it referred to as an SIP.

With this change applied, there is no need to toggle the on screen keyboard.

This is an incredibly old thread. I haven't had this problem in months. Turned out to be a bug in the early builds of 6.1. Cleared up with all the later ones.

I'm running the No2Chem 3.49 5066, 6.1 build 19213 and occasionally still have the issue. No2Chem replied a few posts back about adding it in, I'm guessing on the next build.

What 6.1 build are you running?

no2chem's latest build. Forget what WM version it is. Still, it's happened to me just once since then, and the same trick I learned back then (never bothered to update the thread over it because it's so old) worked now, which was to end-task the Text Messages app.

usually i completely exit out of messaging, close the program then open it back up and the problem is fixed. other then that i deont think they have a solution yet.

Hey everyone

I was seeing this earlier too and it always happened if I hit reply to message and slid the KB out before the screen rendered. What I found for myself as a solution was to either open the KB then hit reply, or hit reply, wait for the screen to render then open the KB.

It seems giving it time to setup the window before busting out the keyboard helps.

For me, whenever it happens, I just click the keyboard icon twice really quick... it takes less than a second, and you don't have to close and reopen (nuerom 2.1b5069k)

I've been using that height change fix I posted earlier that I stubled in to at XDA for a full day now.

So far so good. Haven't had to hit the keyboard icon at all. Even when the problem has occurred I can type 3 rows before the text becomes not visible on the 3rd line.

This fix has worked great so far. Anyone else tried this yet?
