Please state what memory the Flame was on when you encountered this issue.

Comment 4

[Rachel Pribble [:rpribble]]

The issue was originally found on a Flame v2.0 (319MB).

Updated Repro Steps:

1) Updated Flame to BuildID: 20140728000238
2) Connect to data or wifi
3) Marketplace > Search or 'keyboard' > download a third-party keyboard (thai used in test)
4) Tap home, then tap the Rocketbar search field
5) Tap the globe/En button to switch between built-in and third-party keyboard

This appears to be minor and not a regression since 3rd party keyboard was removed on 1.4 so not nominating as a blocker.
