I haven't ever tried Message Plus, so I'm doing a bit of guessing, here. I'm 
guessing that the button is still disabled, which it probably starts out as 
being when there's nothing in the input area. Is a sighted person available to 
watch the screen in order to confirm this?

What happens if you first close the input area? Perhaps long clicking it again 
does that.

There may be something new in Android 5 that I'm unfamiliar with. I don't have 
an Android 5 phone yet.

Due to an implementation restriction, you probably can't use the first routing 
key to move the cursor to any of them. Are you saying that you can't even use 
the second routing key to click on any of them?

Are you able to capture debug logs for the times that are giving you trouble? 
For example, I'd sure like to see a debug log for when brltty isn't waking up 
from a locked screen.
