SearchBox double characters when FocusOnKeyboardInput is set to true and using on screeen keyboard on Surface

Question
-
Hi,
in my app I have a SearchBox control with FocusOnKeyboardInput set to True:
<SearchBox FocusOnKeyboardInput="True" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="200" Margin="0,68,60,0" />
When I run my application on Surface RT (with no keyboard attached), and I tap the search box control to enter a text, each time I press a key in the onscreen keyboard, the character is added twice in the search box control.
If I set FocusOnKeyboardInput to False, the problem is no more present.Is this a bug of the SearchBox control?

FYI: this is a bug and we are working on a fix. I don't know when it will be released, and I couldn't say if I did know. :-)

I can't reproduce this. I am not sure what's going on in your environment.

Hi Matt,
here you can find a sample application to reproduce the problem:
I have a Surface RT (first version) with Windows RT in English UK with Italian keyboard.
This is a screenshot of the problem:

I can reproduce this on Surface RT but not on my non-RT machine. I will ask about this.
