Is that Swiftkey? I thought I read that there was an update in Play Store that fixed that. If not, another idea (not perfect, but it will work) is to turn on the arrow keys in Swiftkey options, which will put the arrow directional keys on that bottom row where the menu control is, so the rest of the keyboard is usable. (From home, Settings->Language & input, gear next to Swiftkey, Theme & Layout, Arrow keys on).
One other idea is to go (from home) to settings->display->use long press for menu, which will change the running apps capacitive button so that a long press calls up the menu and (I think) removes that menu control from the screen.

If you MUST have the 3 dot menu option on your screen, then you are limited. I was bothered by it, so I removed it.
Here is how: Settings, Display, Use long press for menu (check this box). What this does is it removes the onscreen 3 dot button and gives you back your screen real estate. To get to a menu within an app that doesn't show it to you natively, you can long press the button on the phone on the lower right (I don't know its name, but on regular press, it shows all your previous apps - maybe multitask button?)
Hope this makes sense.

Thank you so much! I have several apps where the stupid 3 dot menu button was covering the bottom row of my Swiftkey keyboard. I also found that using the phone in landscape orientation solved the problem - at least in the app that I was trying to use.

It got very cranky for me on my Bionic but I haven't had any issues on the MAXX.
