Not specific to the browser problem but yes, I really wish there was a button on the keyboard that allowed you to dismiss the keyboard rather than force you to hunt around for somewhere "safe" to tap on the screen and hopefully get rid of the keyboard.

Also, I've noticed in the browser that the keyboard will quite often cover up the field into which you are trying to enter text (eg. email address, username or password) . The virtual keyboard integration with the Gecko browser still has a way to go.

Anyone know why Jolla decided on the Gecko browser, and not continue with Webkit? Is it for Firefox OS compatibility?
