Help How can I force the keyboard to pop up?

I'm using the stock keyboard which works just fine pretty much all the time....it's just Facebook that seems to be giving me grief.

Since the Android FB app is rubbish, I now use my web browser to fully browse FB (using Dolphin HD and full web view...not mobile view). When I click on the field to post a new comment on someone's page, the keyboard doesn't appear. The field will highlight green and the cursor will blink in the empty field but no keyboard. This is the only place I have found that the keyboard misbehaves. Replies to comments work fine. Is there an obvious way that I may be missing to force the keyboard open??

I also use the FB widget from LauncherPro Plus but I don't think you can go to someone's profile and post a new comment....only replies to posts. Unless I'm missing something there too.

Any ideas?
