My 4S has lately been having an issue where the keyboard will randomly lock up. The rest of the UI seems to work fine inside the app I am in (And it has happened in multiple different apps, even Messages) but tapping on the keyboard does nothing (No pop-up letters or anything.)

The home button still works, but if I open another app and try to enter text the keyboard still doesn't take any input.

I noticed that Settings.app won't open afterwords as well, it just tries to open then crashes back to springboard. The only way to fix the keyboard is by restarting the phone, which is annoying as it seems to be happening at least once a day.

This is on a stock 4S on 5.0.1.

Has anyone else seen this issue?
