very odd; i don't have that on PA installs here: i just get the touchlock 
screen that is activated should be the one with the nice little draggable lock 
icon. do you get that *and* a password dialog?

Marco already fixed this issue; either this is Nexus 7 specific or the Nexus 
images are using a release with this problem still evident?

if you click off of a text area, it should. it does here, but then i'm not 
using the Nexus 7 image :/

yeah, we've done some work to increase the ergonomics of the keyboard. we'll 
have another swipe at this before PA4 though.

you can flick the keyboard up to the top of the screen. for applications which 
support notification of where the input is happening (part of the IM 
facilities), we will be able to move the keyboard automatically. i don't 
believe this is actually hooked up to the QML keyboard at this point, but 
maliit does at least support it.

sounds like issues with the device adaptation. the guys working on this 
adaptation may be able to help you however.

Marble/Browser? do you mean Marble and the Web Browser? or a browser somewhere 
in Marble? in any case, if these applications are not calling up the keyboard, 
it is because they are using custom text areas and not notifying the IM system 
when they have focus. i fixed this already in applications such as konsole, and 
i thought i fixed this also in katepart ..

is this with bangarang or Plasma Media Center?

kwrite is not designed for touch. so .. yes. :)

though with the appmenu support in 4.10 we can perhaps do something about that 
now.
