iOS: post the code that closes the input panel

When the user is tranferring input focus between line edits
(or similar controls), the edit that lost focus will close
the input panel, just to see that the input that gained
focus will open it again. This will cause the input panel
to "jump", and can also trigger other input panel related
code/signals unnecessary.
