MCPE-6731iOS in-game keyboard - RAM consumption
What I expected to happen was...:
Use the in-game keyboard to type a message to friend and continue playing.
What actually happened was...:
Message was sent, however, each time the on screen keyboard is opened, the game consumes more and more RAM until the OS eventually kills it.
I know the 4th Gen iPod does not have a large RAM, but I can play the game for hours if I want to with 40-60 MB free RAM, until the on screen KB is used, then it quickly drops, 30, 20, 10, 8 MB, then terminated by the OS.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load world
2. Note RAM usage
3. Open keyboard and send message
4. Close keyboard
5. Note RAM usage
6. Repeat - each time the keyboard is used, more RAM is consumed.
I can reduce graphics quality to the lowest and shortest render distance and start with a ton of free memory, same results once keyboard is opened a few times.
Does not matter if it's local server, external server, single player. Results are the same. Thanks.

This video demonstrates the issue.
I had been playing for maybe 15 minutes, local PocketMine server.
Free RAM maintained around 28 - 32 MB free at all times, exploring the entire world. Plus screen recorder software. This shows the issue is only when the keyboard is accessed a few times.
If this issue affects the current version of Minecraft Pocket Edition, please change the "Affected Version/s" option to reflect this.
I experience this whenever I play multiplayer (Realms, over wifi, and on pocketmine) both in creative and survival modes. Only occurs on iOS devices, according to comments in /r/MCPE.
