CrossUI.Droid.Dialog EntryElement loses focus with text prediction - autocomplete

Question

I'm creating a new Dialog view in Droid platform, using the CrossUI.Droid.Dialog project. I'm also using bindings provided by the MvvmCross Framework.
Here is the code I have in the Droid view, to create and bind the Dialog:
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
DroidResources.Initialise(typeof(Resource.Layout));
Root = new RootElement()
{
new Section("Private Configuration")
{
new EntryElement("Name:").Bind(this, "{'Value':{'Path':'Configuration.Name'}}"),
new EntryElement("Description:").Bind(this, "{'Value':{'Path':'Configuration.PrivateDescription'}}"),
new BooleanElement("Active?").Bind(this, "{'Value':{'Path':'Configuration.Active'}}")
},
new Section("Display Configuration")
{
new StringElement("Header Title")
{
Click = (o, e) => GoToHeaderTitleActivity(),
LayoutName = "dialog_rootNavigate"
}
}
};
}
When I run the app, the dialog is shown and the bindings are correct.
The problem I have is when I try to write something in one of the EntryElement, the focus just goes somewhere else... This only happens when I have 'Text Prediction' enabled.
I've checked the sample in Android.Dialog and all seems to work just fine.
I'm using a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, with ICS 4.0
Does anyone had this problem?

Found the answer!!
Apparently there is a known issue in Android where EditText controls and ListView don't play nice. This is not a problem with MvvmCross or Monodroid.Dialog.
To overcome this (and I'm guessing this is the reason for it's existence?) use the MvxLinearDialogActivity when developing forms using dialog. The issue instantly disappears.
As the comment in the class says:
DialogActivity based on a linear view, this will solve all edittext related focus problems when using elements
suggestions at Focusable EditText inside ListView doesn't help for example
