I was running version 2012.2.913 and the input was still showing the "flying text box" on an HTC EVO 4G with Android 2.3.5.
My understanding was that this was "fixed" in the Q2 release. I don't think it was 100%. It did work fine on an HTC EVO 4G LTE with Android 4.x, but not an HTC EVO 4G running 2.x.
So I decided to try the latest internal build. I'm now running 2012.2.1002. That seems to have gotten rid of the flying text box, but there is still an issue with not being able to "long press" a key on Android 2.x AND 4.x. I'm running Android 4.0.3 and the long key presses result in double characters just as they do on 2.x.
Is there any hope for a fix in the future? It does not appear that it's going to be addressed in Android, and I know for a fact that even if it was, HTC is not longer making releases for the EVO 4G, so it would not matter. I understand that it appears to be an Android issue, but does that mean that we have no real solution for the HTC Android users?
Also, version 2012.2.1002 broke the styling on Navbar buttons on 2.x and 4.x devices. The buttons are cut off on the bottom and appear too large.
[EDIT] - After playing with this some more, the 2012.2.1002 build prevents the flying/double text box input, however, you can't see the data input on any text boxes that are under the popup keyboard. This makes it unusable.
