    virtual keyboard turning off and messing up text

    I am repeatedly seeing my on-screen keyboard disappear in the middle of typing. Alternatively, if I enter some text (say in the SMS editor or Opera), exit the keyboard, and go back and edit it some more, the resulting text has some words that I deleted reappear, e.g.

    "...I wanted to createput together something..."

    It is difficult to reproduce; right now it's working fine. The sole hypothesis I have is that the physical keyboard is emitting signals by accident; I think I've managed to exit the screen keyboard by closing the physical keyboard and pressing it against the phone's body, but even that is difficult to repeat.

    Any advice would be helpful.

    I think I got it. Double-tapping on a word while editing in virtual keyboard will mess it up. It will look ok until you exit the virtual keyboard back to the message, but then some words will be mixed together.
