Windows Phone 7.5 users: Our keyboards keep disappearing
Mango may have been bitten by its first big bug.
Users who have upgraded to the version 7.5 of Microsoft’s Windows Phone are complaining that their keyboards randomly disappear or fail to appear when needed. Both Twitter and the XDA Developers forum have received a swarm of messages from Mango users reporting the glitch.
Apparently, people will either touch the input field only to find that the keyboard fails to pop up or be typing an e-mail or IM or other text, and the keyboard will suddenly vanish. The issue appears to be affecting a fair number of people, at least among those reporting it online, though other users say they have yet to run into it.
The last thing one needs is a disappearing keyboard when in the middle of typing an important text or email. Yikes.
