Keyboard Differences Between iPhone & iPad

[datalink]

Working with a solution built for GO on both iPhone and iPad. Both devices are running iOS 6 and the latest versions of GO. When working with iPhone the keyboard displays GO's top boarder on the keyboard which offers the "Previous", "Next", and keyboard retraction buttons. This top boarder and its buttons are not displayed on iPad's keyboard.

This is a problem on iPad as there is no easy way to tab from field to field as there is on iPhone.

Another difference that we are noticing is that the Status Bar is supposed to be suppressed on both versions. On iPhone this works as intended. On iPad the status bar appears when the cursor is in a field and the keyboard is extended. The status bar disappears again when the keyboard is retracted. Its a bit confusing for the operators.

I'm looking for any thoughts or suggestions on this. This difference makes the iPad version of GO unusable for us. It seems to me that it worked properly on the earlier version of the iOS, but I'm not sure.

I have just discovered the "Dock and Merge" function. It seems that the issue that I describe above only happens when the keyboard is split.
