Android: Soft Keyboard not showing on textfield focus on Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2

Hi, recently a client complained about not being able to input values on our app on her Galaxy Nexus. I was a bit astonished but then I tested it using an AVD configured as Galaxy Nexus SDK 4.2.2 and found out she was right.

It's very easy to reproduce this, create a Hello World app using the classical template and use the below code on your app.js file. Run it against:

• AVD device Galaxy Nexus SDK 4.2.2: soft keyboard never shows
• AVD device Nexus 5 SDK 5: soft keyboard shows up when pressing a textfield (as expected)

Can somebody else reproduce the same results? Am I missing something obvious? Many thanks

// this sets the background color of the master UIView (when there are no windows/tab groups on it)
Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');
 
//
// create base UI tab and root window

var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'Tab 1',
    backgroundColor:'#fff'
});
 
// Create a TextField.
var aTextField = Ti.UI.createTextField({

  // borderStyle : Ti.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_ROUNDED // just to be sure it's not caused by TIMOB-9574
});
 
// Listen for return events.
aTextField2.addEventListener('return', function(e) {
  aTextField2.blur();
  alert('Input was: ' + aTextField2.value);
});
 
 
// Add to the parent view.
win1.add(aTextField);
win1.add(aTextField2);
 
// open window
win1.open();
