If you're having problems with an application and how it interacts with the keyboard, you'll need to talk with the developer. There's nothing HTC or Microsoft can do to help it out.

Well, Microsoft could make the keyboard controls more universal so each manufacturer would be the same, but that's another issue.

The problem is not up to the application developers to solve, this is clearly HTC's fault and their matter to solve. I just wrote test app with just some text boxes in it. I tested the info received by my application from the OS by pressing several letters on my S630 keyboard and several of them are wrong. I press the "u" and I get the key code for the right navigation pad key while "h" generates a key press code for the up button and "n" sends the keycode for the down button. I'm getting all this while I have the text input method set to "abc" as evidenced by the "abc" in the upper right corner. "L" generates the key code for return.
