A few days ago, I wrote about an issue I was having where iOS (or
VoiceOver) would not allow me to gain focus to a keyboard in some edit
fields. Lisa replied by saying that someone she taught found out that
disabling screen curtain cleared things up. Initially, this did seem to
help but the problem returned. I eventually figured out, at least in my
situation with my phone, that the issue has to do with whether Bluetooth
is on or off. When I disabled Bluetooth, I was able to access the
keyboard in an edit field which was not accessible a few seconds prior
when Bluetooth was turned on. While I'm glad I understand what was
causing the issue, it doesn't really help when your goal is to use a
Bluetooth keyboard. <smile> Considering that I held off downloading iOS
9 partially due to Bluetooth keyboard issues, the temptation to download
it returned since I'm going to encounter keyboard issues anyway.
However, I resisted and will still use iOS 8.4.1 but wanted to share
this in case anybody else runs into a similar problem.
