Bug Description

On devices with larger screens it frequently happens to me that when I type with the OSK, I drag the OSK down by a few pixels. When I release it, it snaps back up so it doesn't hide, but it still lost that character that I intended to press.

There's two possible solutions:

* increase the threshold until it starts moving down (and with that rejects input)

* Make it still accept the input despite being moved down a little. Only reject the input when it's dragged down far enough to actually dismiss.

I'm not sure which solution is best yet, I guess I could do with either of them.
