´I'm guessing your device has a hardware keyboard? It was by design, WM report a hw keyboard presend and in use, so I don't display the KB... but apparently the keyboard is reported as in use even in portrait mode.
Also that makes sense: PocketCM load the SIP by itself, the objective is that the SIP you choose in PCM will always be used in PCM without impacting other application. It should also allow people with trouble using pcm keyboard, to use it at least in PCM. And in a future release, your SIP choice will stay: if you choose the phonepad SIP, it will be used for any SMS, while your main SIP maybe something else.
tene,
yes, its a Hermes I use. Ok, so the "bug" is maybe meant as feature, but as you
already mentioned, the soft keyboard also stays off in portrait mode ,
so maybe its apparently some kind of bug. I noticed it first time in 0.13!
In earlier versions no problems detected. Maybe you could add some entry
for settings.ini like "Softkeyboard always on = 1" to let the user decide
wether to like it pop up or not. Just a suggestion...
