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'.

wanderer ( 2015-07-20 06:56:31 +0300 )editmostly 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
