I have an issues with 1.1.7 which happens ~twice a day.

What happens is, that the keyboard doesn't disappear in some cases and the overlay stays in all apps - e.g. on the "starting" page of the system settings (where no input field is available). I did not yet find an easy way to hide the keyboard in such a situation - however the following seems to work: go to messages app (sms, mms) and tap on an older sms.

You could try downlading Sailfish Utilities from Jolla Store. Once installed, you'll find Utilities in Settings/System - scroll near to bottom and see Utilities - inside that menu, there is an option to 'Restart Keyboard'.

Thanks for your suggestion! It's what I actually wanted to try already.. however, if the keyboard overlay stays, I'm not able to tap the "System"-entry in the settings menu and therefore can't reach the Sailfish Utilities :P

Does swiping down on the keyboard help?

mostly this issue occurs when device isnt locked and there are some random touches and device rotation.

if i had drafted text and returned back to list of messages, got frozen vkb and touched in area where was Send button, the message was sent, even i was in message list, so there are more frozen invisible layers, not only vkb, but whole message window!

only device reboot fix this issue

Have you seen this with Sailfish OS 2.0.x or newer? Sailfish OS 2.0 included considerable amount of fixes for input handling.

No, since those are about the VKB disappearing and in this case the VKB won't disappear.
