Help EVO doesn't launch keyboard in some text boxes/fields

I've noticed this on facebook comment fields. When I tap in the field, the keyboard does not come up. Other fields are fine.

I use swype 2.50.72.20895.20925 with Andriod 2.3.5 and browser version WebKit/533.1

Someone here suggested to press and hold menu and the kb will come up.
Well it does, but swype does not work, and when I tap out the individual characters, get this, they fill in the box in reverse order and are in caps !

I tried clearing out the browser cache, cookies etc. and it seemed to work for a bit, but no longer. Also the keyboard has a blue tint to it (like it was "selected" or something)

Starting to think this is an attempt by facebook to censor android users :)
