The closing of the keyboard when switching from keyboard layouts with non-latin input methods (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew) to keyboard layouts that use the latin input method was deliberate, introduced by the patch of bug 874011 (see bug 874011 comment 40).

This was required to properly set the word suggestions language.
