If you're looking for a replacement keyboard might I suggest SwiftKey: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey

Regarding your issue - you could try making the following changes in Settings -> Developer optionsuploadfromtaptalk1376386609614.jpgAlso, is this a native wallpaper or a custom one that the problem is occurring with?

Finally, in the future please include the actual screenshot in your post - it's not a very good idea to click random links that people provide.

If those settings I suggested don't make any difference, you could try booting into Recovery mode (with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Up and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the splash screen) and clearing the cache.

If that doesn't help then perhaps you need to do some housecleaning (perhaps an app that you recently installed/updated is causing the problem) or consider a Factory Reset (be sure to backup your information first).

I had the exact same issue with my phone about a year ago (last summer). I never could find a fix specifically for it. The only thing I could figure out to fix it was to use a different launcher, which was one of the best choices I have made in a long time to use it over the stock launcher. I haven't taken the launcher off to see if it still does it after all the updates that have been around though so don't know if this would continue to be an issue for me or not. I even tried different photo or background apps (wallpaper wizardrii and the like) and that didn't solve the problem either.

For what it's worth, a new launcher (apex or nova etc) in theory should fix the problem but it does not allow you to truly "fix" the issue just cover it up.

PS I also LOVE Swiftkey and there are many forums on which keyboard we all prefer if you want some opinions about the various ones out there as there are many.
