This works for me, LG Nexus 4 (Android 4.3), Nightly (10/31). Are you able to reproduce on other devices? Maybe it's a painting issue and not an IME issue.

Good build 04.24.2013;
Bad build 04.25.2013;
Pushlog: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=fef5f202b2dc&tochange=690b5e0f6562
I consider that this bug(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842927) created the issue because is related to keyboard.

Looks like a graphics issue. On my Transformer Prime, I see this sporadically (so maybe a race) and when it happens, the logcat keeps on showing

Renoming based on regression window above. I see "Bug 858969 - Refactor dynamic toolbar so page is offset and not overlapped" in the regression range.

This may possibly be fixed by bug 931823. I'll probably push a fix for that later today, please re-check once that lands.
