Space Bar in Landscape Mode - Need to press higher

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Pressing the space bar in landscape mode
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 2.3 current latest version on the Market
Using on a HTC Sensation, so not a tablet as it seems to be intended...

Please provide any additional information below.

When pressing the spacebar in landscape mode it doesn't seem to recognise if 
you press towards the bottom of the bar, it either doesn't detect the press at 
all, or opens up a menu...

This happens on the Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2) too. The spacebar doesn't 
seem to notice if you don't press it just right.

I'll take a look what's going on here. I thought I had fixed this in revision 
b8555438af90, but the logic is rather complex.

TODO: add a debug option that shows the hit position, so that people can 
compare their intended tap location with the touchscreen registering it.

If you're still having this issue, can you try version 1.28rc6 (or later) from 
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/downloads/list ? It includes a new 
debug setting for drawing the touch location on top of the keyboard.

The interesting question is if the incoming touch events aren't in the 
locations you expect, or if they are shown in the right place but the keyboard 
still produces the wrong key.
