When a div tag is placed around the div tag containing data_role="page", entering text in an input field is impossible/troublesome. With XT9 disabled, entering text is possible, but is is slow. With XT9 enabled, it is impossible to enter text. Entering numbers is no problem.

The following code recreates the problem:

Removing the surrounding div tag, makes everthing work fine.

The problem is observed on a Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) with Android versions from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5. It is also observed on a HTC Sensation with Android 2.3.4.

Several versions of jQuery Mobile have been tried, and the problem exists i all versions. The newest version tried is RC3.
