Stop iOS keyboard from disappearing when typing text on websites?

Not for me. I have the latest update, am running IOS 6.1.2, and it's still happening. Unless I let all the javascripts load on the page before I start typing, as was mentioned before in this thread.

"Fixed" for Google Chrome..

I unsubscribed from Google+ (which I never used anyway). It stopped the info being displayed at the top of the screen approx 6 seconds after the window launched, which caused the keyboard dropout.

Happens to me all the time. Even now typing here the reply. Keyboard is extreme slow and keys just freeze and I have to wait a while before I can type any further. It takes me twice as much time to type an email than usual.

I have an iPad 3 just updated tonight to 6.1.3 in the hope that they discovered this bug and solved it but no it's still here. At the moment the keyboard does not disappear but at some sites it's really bad. Like so 'famous and unmourned as the best app, the FaceBook'. It's really really bad there, of course those text areas are ridiculous small when replying to a post but when your keyboard disappears or freezes its not useable at all.

Don't know if it is an IOS bug or a third party bug but I'm going to take my iPad in, still under 3 year warranty and let them solve it.

At the risk of jinxing it, it appears my iPad is now working fine. I'm suspicious the problem had to do with one of the apps I had downloaded, that was causing some kind of conflict. If that's the case, I have no way of knowing which one was causing the problem, or that another update might cause it to happen again.

We want to blame the IOS, when that may not be the problem at all.

While I had not experienced quite the same scenarios as others on this thread, my problem appears to be very much related.

I always let pages fully load before interacting with them because Chrome OFTEN crashes when doing so. So that hasn't been a problem elsewhere, and is also not a solution for me.

That problem aside, my main issue is with using Facebook through the Chrome browser. The FB app blows, by comparison... which is why I prefer to use a browser. But with FB, it is constantly refreshing and reloading SOMEthing, right? So no matter how long I wait, no matter how short my typing/response, the keyboard invariably disappears mid-type. Happens so much I had to come find a thread and possible solution for it. By comparison, it has yet to happen once in this entire comment here.

Matter of fact, I don't recall it happening ANYWHERE but on FB. But there, it's nearly constant.

The main difference in my situation is that since FB on iOS often requires a tap to "select/highlight" something, then a second tap to actually execute the action, luckily the errant tap upon keyboard dismissal doesn't select a link or anything. Although, now as I think about it, that HA happened to me before. But I do still have to re-tap the text/comment box to continue with text input.

Also, there are times when the text input lags considerably. Often I just keep tapping away, and it will catch up... sometimes with a flurry of keystrokes. But obviously that delay often creates misspellings and incorrect input. So the need to backspace or select/edit is required. This last issue feels like when a computer is low on RAM or something, and is sort of staggering with its performance. But that's just an observation/opinion/guess.

I'm on an iPad 2, iOS 6.1, and almost exclusively use Chrome, so my entire problem is in Chrome, while on Facebook.

PLEASE someone tell me this problem is being addressed! >.<

edit: *Chrome often crashes when NOT doing so.

Chrome crashes! Period.

I, too, am not an idiot, and this is happening to me nearly all the time and is driving me mental. I went to an Apple Store for advice, but no one seemed to be able to solve this. It is post ios8 update, which I wish I hadn't done.

I Have an iPad mini for 1.5 yrs and it's current with all updates. For the last month its having the same issue of the keyboard hiding after the first character is typed! The strange thing is it ONLY happens in Google (Mobile) and not if I use the Google app! I haven't noticed the issue in any other site or app!

Thanks for any help!

I have been having the keyboard disappear when i start to type fir a while now, i mostly use chrome, but occasionally use safari and was having the problem too. It would do it less if you would wait for the page to load before typing but sometimes even then it would still disappear initially, which would also result in errant link clicks on other sites. In chrome, i went to the setting, then under bandwidth i turned off preload webpage and the disappearing keyboard issue has not happened since. I am also able to view pages i previously was unable to load because of drop down menus that i could not type into because they would constantly reload the page

Hi friends,

Just turn off Show Lowercase Keys option following these steps below:

Setting-->General-Accessibility--> Keyboard --> Show Lowercase Keys

That's all. Check your keyboard again. You have solved a problem. Let's me know.

Thanks
