Patch: Make filter text visible with soft keyboard

[John Drake]

The attached patch adds some padding below the "Required Text" field in the Edit Filter dialog. Without the padding, the soft keyboard (at least on my HTC Desire) would cover the edit text field, preventing me from seeing what I was typing.

I tried several approaches to get this to work, but the padding was the only solution which I could easily find. The disadvantage is that now an empty area will appear below the edit text, if the user scrolls all the way down in the inner scroll view. In my opinion, this minor inconvenience is outweighed by far by the advantage of being able to see what you type. :-)

Attached is also a screen shot of the way the screen now looks on my device. I tested this with several soft keyboards: the android stock, Swype, and SwiftKey.

Cheers.

I have also run into this and forgotten to mention it. Good catch.
Pretty annoying when you can not see what you are typing.
