Chat entry focus problems on Android since VO 1.8.239
Since VO 1.8.239 on Android the input focus switches from the on-screen keyboard's field to the chat entry field on the HUD twice during jump animations. The half-typed message also cannot be recovered like on the PC client by pressing the down arrow.
It is also now impossible for Android users who have a device with a physical keyboard to hide the on-screen one while typing (before, you could just hit the "back" button to make it get out of your face and stop wasting 3/4 of your screen)
The only way to get rid of this problem is to uncheck the Interface->Enable Touch Controls checkbox which disables ALL touchscreen controls, many of which are really useful or necessary. (The new touch-to-target comes to mind)
I don't know if this affects Windows 8/RT users. Tested without any plugins installed.

Actually, I have the same problem. Also, I was stuck with the type in the bar thing, as it did not let me type and did not let me do anything with my ship. I had to reload VO a couple of times because of this.
