Question [Q] Swype / Handcent annoyance - moving screen

Anybody have an answer for my biggest annoyance with my SGS2?

I am using Handcent for messaging with Swype - whenever Swype suggests a word it actually kicks the message panel UP a line. Sure, it really doesn't change the INPUT since that is on the keyboard, but when you are trying to go the message panel and tap or move the cursor, it really messes you up.

Anybody know how to move the word suggestions up to the TOP of the message panel or even KEEP the extra line open and blank instead of moving it around all the time?

Thanks!

You can always install the newest version of Sywpe. Had the same issue and installed a themed version of Swype and it doesn't do the realignment of the page after selecting a word.

Install the latest version of Swype through the installer and that fixes it. That annoyed the crap out if me before

Will installing the Swype beta overwrite our current version?
