2.2 issues

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem...

I just got 2.2 from the official OTA update on my Sprint HTC Evo 4G, it's completely legit, not rooted or anything (I don't know if that would even matter), but the T9 bar now completely blocks the smaller send button in text messages.

The only way to get get rid of it is either drag it away (which it does not save... will return to blocking the button after exiting and reopening your messages), use a period (God help us), or type multiple lines (it moves itself)

Think they are going to change this? Most text messages I send do not use punctuation, and are only one line long... this is very, very annoying
