iOS 8.3 just screwed up my keyboard

This is still a bug in iOS 8.3. The problem I am seeing is that when my Apple bluetooth keyboard is connected the software keyboard will begin to pop up when is shouldn't after about 5-10 minutes. No matter what I do after that, including having all Accessibility off or toggling Cloud Drive, the software keyboard will ignore the fact that extenal keybaord is being used. Only forgetting the device in Bluetooth settings and reconnecting solves issue. Previous versions of iOS were flawless in this respect so it appears to be anew issue.

See the attached screenshot of my iPhone 5 keyboard

I tried all these suggestions and none worked. But I finally did fix the problem without a backup and restore. My Japanese and Korean keyboards worked again after I went to Settings > General > Language & Region and changed the iPhone Language to Japanese. After it reset the language and I typed some things, I set the language back to English. Now the Japanese and Korean keyboards work again like expected.

I noticed there was a correlation between my battery being low < 30% and having General > Accessibility > Zoom enabled. Disabling Zoom fixed the problem.

Thank you so much!

My keyboard take a few seconds to appear, and sometimes does not come up at all. Mostly on the Facebook app and trying to search on safari. Also my touch screen has places that are unresponsive some times. I have the 6 plus. My sister and my daughter also have the iPhone 6 plus and are having the same issues since upgrading to iOS 8.3

STill having issues post installation of update OS8.3

once keyboard locks up or keystrokes appear delayed Whole sytem freezes.

will not shutdown, will not do anything?

IT happens on both iphone 5s & ipad 3 .... As seen here adds unwanted uppercase letters.

BAck up and restore didn't correct anything.... All Accessibilties option off

In the app"Notebooks" by Alfons Schmid, on a new iPad Air 2, while typing, I hid the keyboard. When I recalled it, the letter, and some control keys, were missing. I could backspace, dictate and hide the keyboard, but not type words. Hiding the keyboard did not help. If I quit the program, rather than just switching to another, it seemed to bring back all the keys the first time I used the keyboard, but then the problem was back.

I reset my iPad, but that didn't make a difference. I had no third party keyboards installed. I have never activated my iCloud Drive, but checked and it was off. I disabled the auto dim on my screen, and that was of no assistance.

*** My solution: I checked the accessibility settings - Settings > General > Accessibility on my iPad - and found them all to be off. However, since the Zoom had been mentioned several times, I turned it on. I went back to Notebooks, with Zoom on; the keyboard was still broken. When I turned Zoom off in Settings, that seemed to fix the keyboard. I have not had the problem since. ***

Notes: My problem didn't involve "sticking" keys or delayed typing.

The Zoom I found magnified my screen and didn't seem to affect its brightness.

The reason I posted this experience is that I found just having a setting in the off position may not be enough to avoid the error. We may need to turn the setting on and then off to correct it.

My keys were also staying up and my Inverted Colors was on even though my colors were normal. I turned off Zoom which inverted my colors. I then turned off Inverted Colors. Voila.....My keyboard was fixed.

I Hope Apple knows about this and will fix it asap

Update: I noticed today, when I used an older version of Circus Ponies Notebook, that my keyboard letter keys disappeared again. The program was unstable because of its age, I assume, and wouldn't perform several functions in other areas. It finally crashed and I deleted it from my iPad. When I opened the newer version of Notebook, and the other apps I've used since, I have had no problems with my keyboard since applying the fix listed above.

I had this too.

Thanks for the tip about "Accessibility".

For me the last thing to turn off before the problem was resolved was turn off ZOOM.

That's a bit sad because I am legally blind.

I had installed Swiftkey but removed it in an effort to fix the 'stuck-keys'

I am using a 5S and am having the same challenge and its become more persistent after the last 3 updates.

Posting to a 7 month old thread that is marked as "Solved" is not a good way to get help. It would be more productive to post a new message describing your issue, as there are several different problems discussed in this thread, so what your "same challenge" is is not clear.
