    Does anyone know how to keep the keyboard from dropping down after each letter I type? Replies are taking forever to type.

    That seems to be something that happens on iOS for some reason. Use to happen all the time on my iPhone but never on android or my android tablet.

    My solution was to do some re-sizing of the window or change from portrait to landscape and then back and it would seem to go away.

    I never did find a reason or effective solution but those workarounds usually always got rid of it.

    My work around is to intentionally type a misspelled word. Like qew or something. The spell check seems to override the keyboard drop down.

    Hitting "Go Advanced" seems to fix it for a while too.

    Sorry, don't have the problem. 99% of my posts are from an iPad.

    I use Safari and have that problem. I use the "Go Advanced" as a work around.

    This seems like a device or app setting. No problem on my Android OS pad. What is your device/OS?
