Mmm, maybe try using a USB keyboard. I believe that you can set a check box so that the on-screen display still appears with a hard keyboard. No, that's not a solution, merely an experiment into getting some more insight.

You can also go to Developer settings and click "Show coordinates" (or whatever it's called). You can type some letters and figure out the coordinates. You can write a batch file or a script to "adb shell input tap 123 456". Then you can characterize what's going on.

You can also try "adb shell input text 'This is very good'".
