How to type long text messages and see what I'm typing?

Hi,
I've recently got an HTC One M8, and when I try to write a long text message, thats long enough to not fit all on the one window (so it has to scroll), it scrolls so that the bottom line of text is just above the on-screen keyboard. But THEN when i type, the auto suggest words appear above the keyboard, and cover over what I'm typing so that I can't see it, which is really annoying and means every word I have to click back and forth between the editing screen and the other screen to get the view of what I just wrote back.
Is there any way to fix this?

PS I just noticed it only happens in landscape orientation. I always write texts this way since the keys are bigger and my hands are large. In portrait orientation it works fine.

So now my question is, is is possible to write long texts in landscape format?
 
Sorry for the delay in a reply. Have you tried other keyboards, like Google or Swiftkey?

This is the ONLY issue about the M8 that bothers me. In fact it drives me nuts... Anybody have an answer?
