Keyboard getting stuck!

Alright, my phones stock keyboard has started to act up. As a temporary fix I have switched to the swype keyboard but I hate that keyboard with a passion!

 

What happens is, whether I am in a text, on the internet, or anything that deals with using the keyboard to type, the keyboard will completely freeze if I hit the space bar or hit the period button. I can't hit the back button to make the keyboard disappear, the keyboard just stays on my screen, I can move to the different homepages and open apps, but the keyboard just stays there and everything opens behind it. The only way I can get it removed is to completely turn off my phone and turn it back on.

 

I have tried to clear the cache, clear the data, uninstall and re-install my texting app, but nothing works! I want my normal keyboard back and not the swype keyboard. Any ideas of what is going on?
