Actually, it doesn’t work if you set it to “Default”, “Light” or “Dark”. The keyboard at least doesn’t disappear if set to _nothing_.

I should say it doesn’t _always_ not work. It seems to work just fine for one of my four Text\_Input components. I’ve copied the working Text\_Input to the other three, set to “Dark”. They work once, then after that they appear and then immediately disappear. Weird. Any help is always appreciated.  
[EDIT] Now I can not get ANY text input to work after setting it to “Dark”, even after changing it back to Default, or removing the setting completely.

DOH! I was setting the column that contained the keyboard to Visible False. All is good with the keyboards now.
