Question

I am seeing a weird bug in my app and I was wondering if someone could help me fix it. I have a simple EditText with some existing Text, if I move the cursor to the top and hit the Enter key it moves the first line down and on top of the second line. I made a video to help with the visual of what I am seeing:

The phone is a stock Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have tried to change the InputType to various other things but they all see to have the same issue. Here is the layout:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editor_text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dip"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_weight="0.72"
    android:gravity="top"
    android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect"
    android:singleLine="false" >
</EditText>

This is a Jelly Bean issue with Hardware Acceleration here is the Google link:

I verified that using the Software layer fixed the issue for me.
