iOS 8.1.1 has been uncaged

[Europa]

They said the bug is "closed"? Hmmm...

I'm going to assume that by "closed" they mean "fixed." How'd it go with your own tests? Do you consider the issue to be "closed" right now with 8.1.1? Or will it be "closed" after 8.1.2 or higher is released?

It was ambiguous, so I asked for clarification and I'm waiting for a reply. It said "open" next to mine and "closed" next to the duplicate bug.

It appears to be fixed. I've been running 8.1.1 for almost 48 hours and typing on eiC until my thumbs get sore. The first day I copied all the new posts word-for-word and then backspaced it all and never actually posted any of it. Backspacing was what triggered the freeze about 75% of the time. So based on the amount of typing I've done, I should have had at least fifteen lockups since updating...and I've had ZERO.

The bug didn't affect me outside of eiC. I'm not sure why. I found a couple people on the Apple forum who experienced it and about twelve people on macrumors. These were people experiencing the exact same bug (Safari freezes when typing on forums). I found numerous people who had the shortcut freeze Safari bug, but I didn't count them. That was common. It was similar, but it had a different trigger and was avoidable/preventable.

That's the way it works for me.

It works now. I just press a pic or text bubble, tap "more", and the trash can and forward options appear at the bottom.

That update seems to have helped the performance of my daughters iPad Mini "1". Does seem . . . peppy-er.

Just gotta say that every time I see your avatar I see Will Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Actually, with the goatee instead of full beard, wouldn't it be LT Thomas Riker?

Yeah, probably. It's been a while.

Back on topic. I've found iOS 8.1.1 to be pretty stable. Took a few months, which felt like an eternity thanks to that Safari bug.

I also would like to add that my messsges app has not froze up since the update. I was getting tired of that. I was deleting the background messages app 15 times a day to unfreeze it. Works great now. Also no vanishing keyboard. Good update for my phone. So far!

Since the update, my keyboard doesn't disappear. I'm actually enjoying using my phone more without these issues.

Hmm, based on this thread, I may have to upgrade to 8.1.1. after all...

Tap on the picture. It becomes full screen. You won't see anything but the picture, the sender's name, the three bars on the right and the blue square icon with the arrow in the lower right. You will not see the keyboard at all in this view. Now tap the icon in the lower left and select Message.

My 5 shows a bar at the bottom with the trash can on one side and the forward arrow on the other side. My iP 4 was the same. So when I press the pic and tap "more",

I get this at the bottom.

I tap the arrow, and get the option to enter a name, address or number to forward to.

My Wife's 5c will only do it like you said. My 5 will do it either way.

That's not full-screen. Are you just using one quick tap on the picture? It looks like you're tapping and holding.

Yes, I long press the pic or bubble to bring up the "more" option. I tap "more" and the 2 options at the bottom show. One the trash can and the other the forward arrow. I don't need to tap the pic to make it big, then tap the arrow for the share options. I would for Facebook and Twitter. But not message or email. Pressing the pic and tapping "more" for those options at the bottom started with iOS 7. Now I don't recall how it was done in iOS 6. There was a forward arrow in 6.

For the sake of the info here, I'm still seeing users who don't see the trash can. I have found that it does get hidden by a strip of the keyboard. The keyboard gets stuck. I have raised the keyboard and slammed it down. That's worked a few times. But most often I swipe the messages app out of the multitasking tray. That fixes it. I haven't had much problems with it on 8.4 at all. But some still report their trash can disappearance.
