Bug Description

OSK cannot be dismissed or is very difficult to dismiss, which can be blocking in several situation like installing new software.

TEST CASE:
1. Go the the application scope
2. Tap 'search' and search for 'hello' in the search field but don't dismiss the keyboard
  -> The application 'Hello World' should be displayed under 'More suggestions'
3. Tap 'Hello World' to open the details
4. Tap 'Install' to install the application

EXPECTED RESULT
User can install the application

ACTUAL RESULT
User cannot install the application because the 'Install' button is hidden and OSK cannot be dismissed.
The user can scroll the click scope to reveal the buttons but it is really non-obvious. Sometimes the keyboard can be dismissed but it is very hard to do.

this broke in the last day or two. guessing related to the change that was made in the shell for input traps and keyboard height, etc.

just discussed this with ricmm and gusch. the plan is to increase the size of the top border on the osk and add some additional space between the top row of keys and the border.

sounds like it is not possible in Mir to have the keyboard report a bigger size and have events delivered to both it and the application on top of it as it used to work in SF. This is the solution we want but will not happen for 13.10

Indeed, it might be the only way now to add a 1GU or so on top of the keyboard.
