Textinput panning issue

I have 2 issues in textinput panning:

First issue is when the softKeyboardBehavior property in config file is set to "pan". Using the current sdk 4.11 and using the default skin for textinput pans the whole application including the header ( Please see image attachment titled PanWithoutHeader.png ). If I'm actually going to use the old skin which is the "spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" the panning is working fine (Please see image attachment titled PanWithHeader.png ) but the problem with the old skin is I couldn't use the softKeyboardType property. Is there any solution on this?

Second issue is actually wen I use a third-party keyboard with transparency option, and the transparency option was set to 50% ( Meaning I can see the behind elements in the keyboard ), there is actually a grayish background that keeps on flickering and it's very annoying to look at. Please see Flickering_background.mov for the details.

I really need to have a solution on these issues or other work around solutions since my client is very anxious to get this fixed. Hope you guys can help me.
