Click event does not fire when on-screen keyboard is open on Android / Phonegap

I am developing a phonegap application (Cordova 3). Tested on Android. When I click on the input text box, the soft keyboard opens. I have a submit button in a view. When I enter the text and then click the submit button, it does not fire the on click event, but rather will return focus back to the view.

Only when I click the button Doneand then the send button does the click event for this particular button fire. How can I make the submit button fire a click button event when the soft keyboard is open?
