Rowmote funtionality

I went ahead and purchased last night XBMC Commander for my iPad (ver 1) to be used with XBMC on my ATV (Silver - ver 1). Now I have a question. I followed the set up procedures which allows me to control XBMC. So apparently setup is correct. I am connected. I can maneuver around within XBMC and I like the display of my video library. Cool. However, I am having a problem with the keyboard. When I go into a repository, such as 1Channel, and try to do a search by filling out the text block, I have problems. Not only does nothing type in the onscreen text block, but XBMC Commander immediately disconnects and states, "using cached data whenever possible". The only way I can get out of this situation is to use my hand held remote (Logitech Harmony One) and back out of the text block. How do I use the XBMC Commander keyboard in a repository? Thank you for your assistance.

XBMC is a great entertainment program, but typing into the text block for a search, writing titles, etc. is slow and tedious. Are there any iPad remotes in which you can use an onscreen keyboard to type successfully? I have the following and they all fail:

ROWMOTE:
PROBLEM: Whenever I attempt to type in a title in Rowmote on my iPad (ver 1) for a search in Apple TV (silver, ver 1) Flash modified XBMC, I get letters added out to infinity. Example: typing in "movie", I get "movieeeeeeeeee", i.e. the keys often appear stuck. This only happens under XBMC, not the root ATV.

Reply from the publisher: That's certainly a problem!, I'll look into this ASAP.
But so far no solution.

Reply from Firecore: We've heard of the issue but unfortunately aren't involved in the XBMC development process.

REMOTE HD:
PROBLEM: Whenever I attempt to type in a title in Remote HD, I get letters added out to infinity.

Reply from the publisher:This is a bug with XBMC that we are aware of, The keys sometimes get stuck. We will hopefully have this fixed with the next update.
This only happens in XBMC.
No fix so far.

XBMC COMMANDER:

Reply from publisher: Thats actually an XBMC problem. As soon as an addon opens a text window, XBMC suspends its internal web services, thus terminating all communication with XBMC Commander. I've opened a ticket in XBMCs bugtracker for this quite some time ago: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11213
hope this will get fixed... Unfortunately for now theres nothing i can do about it


So is there an iPad XBMC remote that will operate successfully with XBMC in the keyboard mode?

Obviously not when using addons then ...
