Hi John there,

If you're talking specifically about the space key, then it is by design that long-pressing the space key hides the keyboard. It should be consistent across the system, in rocket bar or in any app. (Of course, long-pressing other keys should not hide the keyboard, as in bug 1102135).

The little icon on the top-right corner of the space key denotes such functionality (of course, any challenge on whether it conveys such functionality clearly is welcome!)

I'm setting this wontfix'ed, but feel free to provide further comments. ;)
