I really liked the new Facebook app until upgrading to iOS 5. There is no longer a send button when typing comments. And hitting return just adds new line feeds.

Anyone else with this issue?

YES! Me! I thought it was me, I kept thinking it was the keyboard that was blocking it! Any ideas anyone?

I believe it is the split keyboard causing the problem. Or I should say, apps are having problems understanding where the split keyboard is. The screen will reorient when you reconnect the keyboard.

Hey thanks for the tip. Haven't noticed it on other apps yet. I love the split keyboard, but still getting used to it.

What do you do with a split keyboard and how do you get it to be that way?

I hate to continue hijacking this thread, but I love the split keyboard for easy two-thumb typing. Enable it in the General, Keyboard settings or when the keyboard is visible, pull the keyboard apart from the middle to the edges. FYI, You are now able to "undock" the keyboard from the bottom of the screen by dragging the "hide keyboard" button up to a more comfortable typing position. Very handy for updating your status on the new Facebook app.

Or, as long as it's enabled in Keyboard settings, you can simply tap and hold on the small keyboard button at the bottom right of the keyboard. You'll get dock/undock and split/un-split options. Or you can tap and drag the button up. Apple supplied a lot of ways to switch between them.

My problem is that like the FaceBook app, most developers have not figured out how to handle a keyboard that suddenly ends up in the middle of the screen, often covering the text you are trying to type. Though FaceBook at least moves the entry field, even if it loses the send button.

(notice how I so cleverly came back to the topic)


(ouch, strained something trying to pat myself on the back.)

Wow! Just realized I can drag the split keyboard up and down to get it out of the way, as long as I've careful not to drag it all the way to the bottom. One complaint mostly solved almost before I could gripe. Thanks Apple.
