Keyboard stuck on in App Store!

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 4. It can be fixed by going into the Leave a comment section.

i experienced the same issue. Permanent fix: turn off virtual keyboard when the focus leaves the search bar; on when the focus resumes.

How do you turn off the virtual keyboard when the focus leaves the search bar?
Is this something in settings that I can't see?

This happened to me on my iPhone 4 and was driving me INSANE. Here's the simple fix: 1. Type anything into the search field, which will produce a list of apps; 2. Tap on any app; it doesn't matter which one; 3. When the "Info" screen for that app appears, scroll down to the "Report a Problem" button (right below the button which displays the app's rating) and tap it. As soon as you do so, the virtual keyboard will finally disappear, and when you tap "cancel", the App Store will return to its previous state with the icons ("Featured", "Categories", "Top 25", etc.) across the bottom of the screen. WHEW!

Yup, happening on my iTouch 4G as well. First time I've ever made a comment on an app and then this happened ! The tip about going to the "Report Problem" or "Write Comment" section and then cancelling does temporarily "fix" the problem. But as soon as you use the search bar the problem returns.

Obviously the real fix is for Apple's engineers to correct the software issue that are causing this and issue a patch or an update of some sort. I think with a market valuation of 50 billion dollars, Apple could afford to devote a little time to this. I'm always hearing about how "Apple's stuff just works". I like my iTouch but this problem and a few other issues it has is causing me to keep an eye on the emerging Android market. (Steve, can you hear me ?)

yes. Happens to me to. It's like that now every time that I do a search in App store.

Had exactly the same problem - the fix is easy as stated here. Seems like a programming issue to me. I do hope it gets sorted in the next release....

Thanks for posting the fix!

Try turning your itouch off (literally, by holding down the lock button and sliding the power switch to the right) and then turn it back on. This worked for me.

very helpful, thank you! Then it happened again and I couldn't touch the report a problem link because it was covered by the keyboard! The price we pay for "convenience"!
