It seem that the problem is only limited
to the Android 2.3.6 phone.
In that case, this verifies it is a jquerymobile issue.  (Or a 
limitation in 2.3.6 rendering).
Thanks, please close this ticket.

I believe this is actually intentional.  Otherwise, there may not be 
enough space on the screen to support both the input box and the 
keyboard.

But at best this is a jquerymobile issue so there's nothing we can do here.
Michael,

I did more testing using two different phones.  One with Android 4.2.2 
and another iPhone.  It seem that the problem is only limited to the 
Android 2.3.6 phone.  On the other two phones, when the keyboard 
appears, the bottom bar slides up to move just above the top of the 
keyboard and above that is the text box.  However, on Android 2.3.6 
phone, this does not happen.  Again, when the keyboard is dismissed, 
on the two working phones, the bottom bar reappears at the bottom.

I suspect this is a bug in Android OS or maybe like you said in 
jQueryMobile but with this level of OS.  I did search the jquery site 
for similar bugs and didn't find anything close to this.  Also, I 
don't think I can report this to jquery because I don't have enough 
understanding of the programming behind it to either report or respond 
if they ask for code sample, etc..

For now, I will have to live with this one I think unless you have any 
other suggestions..  Thanks.

This sounds like a jquerymobile issue.  Have you searched the bug 
reports on that site?

Sorry, forgot to mention running on Horde 5.1.2 and IMP 6.1.3 with all 
other packages at latest available version.

When using mobile mail if you click reply on an existing message or 
compose a new message, then place your cursor on a text field such as 
the subject line or the message body, causing the popup keyboard to 
appear, once you are done typing using the keyboard and hit the 
phone's back button to dismiss the keyboard, the keyboard disappears 
but the lower bar that always remains at the bottom of the message 
compose screen is now gone.  The only way to find the bar is to scroll 
down a very long way (which seems to be another bug) so that you can 
find the bar that has the 'Send Message', 'Cancel' and 'More' buttons. 
  However, another option to make the this bar to appear is to hit 
back button to dismiss the keyboard, then tap on any area on the top 
of the message compose screen, like the white areas outside and to the 
right of the From, To, Subject.  This forces the bottom bar to 
suddenly appear.

Thanks.
