It appears the keyboard sends a brief visibility false signal, before going back to being true after it first starts up; this doesn't seem to happen on RTM, so possibly related to the Qt 5.4/5.4.1 upgrade (or due to some other change since RTM). For most apps this isn't a problem, however the webbrowser, contacts and messaging are all sharing a component called KeyboardRect.qml which has some explicit code to remove focus when the input method is no longer visible (which shouldn't be necessary as maliit does this itself under normal circumstances), which then causes the keyboard to really hide. In a worst case scenario we can simply remove this code from all the apps using KeyboardRect.qml, however it'd be better if we can get to the bottom of why a false visibility signal is being sent in the first place.
