Browser history usability problem in landscape mode

In stock browser, in order for the page history to become visible you have to tap on the url. This brings up the keyboard and at the same time a list with visited pages is shown below the url field. Now, when in landscape mode, the keyboard takes up too much real estate, more than half of the screen. In order to actually see the list of the visited pages, you have to scroll down, but the available area for doing that is very small. If the page you're looking for is further down the list, you have to slowly scroll little bit at a time... I find this quite annoying.

Are there any plans to correct this usability problem?
