Touch Pro Keyboard Bug

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed this 'bug' with the keyboard backlight staying On, even in the 'closed' position?
I noticed it when looking at my touch pro side-on in dim light, and finally figured out how to replicate.
It basically seems to happen if you open/close the keyboard a few times without waiting for the 'lag' in the screen to catch up and change from landscape to portrait. The keyboard light will remain on even after being slid closed, and even after the machine is put into sleep mode!
It is sometimes fixed by opening the keyboard, letting the screen 'catch up', and then closing it again. But sometimes, this does not work. You have to open the keyboard, hit a key to make the machine realize that the keyboard is open, and then close it again.
I'm running the Australian 1.94 original ROM, and I noticed this both before and after using the SlideWakeup tweak for the keyboard.

[Q] Landscape-always mode

Im looking for an app that will trick the phone that the keyboard is always slid out even if its not, so that the phone is always locked in landscape mode even if my phone is tilted in portrait. I kinda like the screen to be like that of Dell Streak where its always in landscape. But for me to do that i always have to slide out my keyboard and wait for the screen to rotate (slow at times, i hate waiting).
But when i leave my keyboard slid out, landscape stays on even when it goes on sleep mode. and when I wake it up, the lock screen is also in landscape. that is what i want.
im using Xperia X10 Mini Pro by the way. but probably a same app would work for other android phones with slide out keyboard.
If you know of any app, id appreciate it.
Thanks!

Autoswitch virtual keyboard?

I just got the official Samsung keyboard cover for my Tab S2. It seems that the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work properly if the default on-screen keyboard is Swype (my favorite). I have to manually select the Samsung on-screen keyboard to make the bluetooth keyboard work correctly.
Is there any way to automatically switch to the Samsung on-screen keyboard when the bluetooth keyboard is turned on, and switch back to Swype when the bluetooth keyboard is turned off? There is a power switch on the bluetooth keyboard, so turning it on/off is not a problem.
Thanks.
I have a partial solution for now. I installed Swiftkey. It doesn't show the virtual keyboard when the Bluetooth keyboard is turned on. It does still show the word predictions at the bottom, however. Not quite as annoying as Swype. I'll have to use Swiftkey for a while and see how it compares to Swype, which I've been using for years.
If anyone has a solution to my original problem, I'd love to hear it.
