See, I'm inclined to call it sloppy, this would look nicer if it wasn't sloppy, the screenshot shows a state that makes no sense to a normal user.

However, if this is actually happening in some transition, then leave it. We all know that there are only so many hours. Bring some polish to this transition with a future update. I can't see dinging them on design for a slightly sloppy transition.

Here's a video of the animation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zNvFR7Mgxk&t=30s

IMHO, this is the opposite of sloppy.

Theres nothing sloppy about this transition it makes sense.

They did have a nicer one in beta 1 though where the message came up under the keyboard blurred
