I rarely use the landscape keyboard, but just tried it and it does the same on mine. Incredibly annoying to try to type on that.

 

I use betterkeyboard and don't have this problem. When I press the 'google search button' it brings up the search bar at the top of the home screen and doesn't let me rotate to landscape anyway.

 

Yeah, me too.

When I hit the search key (next to Back key) - I get a small dialogue box, that's all.

 

Yep, mine does the same thing. Seems like a bug, probably would be a good idea to report it to HTC or check if they already know about it.

 

oh yea... weird.

still it works ok with better keyboard, so im good

 

Same here its been like this from new ( bought in August ) its a pain.

 

Oh wait... no it doesnt work with betterkeyboard. Doh!

 

Oh yeah. Well found (kinda)

I'm not a fan of the landscape KB, as it tends to remove any "submit" type buttons you get next to the dialogue box.

Sorry I can't help.

 

i like it. it's fun.

 

yep mine does the same ...i can still type but it is soo annoying ...i use the widget on one of the homescrrens to search google so its not that much of an issue but still anoying ...let us know what response you get from HTC jUsT2eXy

Cheers

I'm not able to replicate this bug (not that I want to)... what exactly are you doing? I opened my browser and then hit the search key on the phone then rotated to landscape and it typed normally.

 

do u have the euro hero or the sprint..?

 

Sorry jUsT2eXy I was asking imahawki but u sneaked a reply in :O)

 

DOH! Sprint... sorry, my bad.

 

There is a workaround for this bug: if you ride in a horse drawn cart over cobblestones the bouncing will cancel out the bouncing on the phone's keyboard enabling you to type normally.

 

LOL Brilliant.

 

I am unable to replicate the 'bouncy keyboard' following the steps you posted. The only issue I find with the landscape keyboard is the slight lag, although this seems intermittent.
