 Description   

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Android Version: vanilla 4.03)

Most keystrokes from the virtual keyboard (the default Samsung Keyboard apk) are not recognized by the text boxes (player name, map name, seed, chat box). Only Backspace seems to work (you can delete the default player name), but no actual letters can be entered.

Once one deletes all letters from the player name box and leaves the menu, the next time it is opened, the player name is automatically set to "game_difficulty".

A map name can't be entered, but the world generates as usual and the map is simply listed as "Level" in the map list.

The bug exists in 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2.

It works fine on the Nexus 7 tablet and Samsung Galaxy S3 phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 seems to use a different keyboard apk. By the way... the problem persists in 0.7.2.

The same issue exists on the Samsung Galaxy S phone (but also do note that I do not have the issue on a Samsung Galaxy S3).
