This keyboard appears sometimes when i swipe down to do a spotlight search. I've never seen in in any other location. And it does not even work. Trying to tap any key on it just closes the spotlight search and returns me back to the desktop.
Other times when i try to do a spotlight search no keyboard at all appears. Or a dark box appears where the keyboard should be.
I assume this all has to do with bungled 3rd party keyboard compatibility (I have swiftkey).... but this is so annoying.

Weird. Never seen that on my 5. I only have Riffskey enabled though.
 
A similar keyboard appears on the passcode screen when you have a passcode set which isn't a 4-digit "Simple" passcode.

But I've no clue why that keyboard would show up in Spotlight.
