Chuck, I've experienced what you're describing with Fleksy just announcing keyboard and not registering any other key presses. Usually, a restart of my iPhone with the home and power buttons fixes this problem. I'll also say it seems to arise in apps not requiring much keyboard input other than an occasional search.
You might try going into settings, general, keyboard and removing the Fleksy keyboard from the installed list. You don't actually have to uninstall the app from your device. I would then open the messages app and type a sample using the standard keyboard before turning Fleksy back on. I will say I'm trying to use the Fleksy keyboard in spacebar mode since my experience is that it seems better behaved in this mode. You also have access to the button immediately to the left of the spacebar that will enable you to switch back to the standard keyboard. I understand your frustration because the Fleksy keyboard seems unpredictable enough to make one unwilling to fool with it but progress is being made with VoiceOver with each subsequent upgrade. Only you can decide whether the benefit of using Fleksy outweighs the cost of its frustrations. Good luck with your decision.
