Back and clear button delay while flip is closed

Have you guys ever had this problem? It goes on and off for me.
With the flip close, I go to messages and type the usual way with the keypads, whenever I make a mistake I use the clear button, lately iv been having problems with it, it takes awhile to clear the character/letter or sometime it doesnt clear at all. Ive pressed it as hard as i could but stil its either delayed or nothing happens. So I press the back button to just quit the whole thing and again there is a delay or nothing happens.

Here is the wierd part, when I have the flip open and I go to the flip open options and tik the keypad option and do the same process as the above, everything works ok. ?!?
Is there something wrong with my keypad? lie is doesnt touch the screen or something? I checked the "pointers" at the back and they seem to be functioning properely.

I had this problem before after about 4 days of having the phone but i didnt complain it to SE because it dissapeared and now its back. I tried restarting the phone but still its the same problem.

These are my software versions:
Phone: R1D
Bluetooth: R2C
Organiser: R1F01
CDA: R1F04

These seem to be the latest already.

Should I Return my unit?

Thanks for that. I was having the same problem too, I was beginning to think I was going mad - but such an easy solution - ain't it always the same
