[MENTION=10553]Dark Slayer[/MENTION]! Is it a custom rom you are using? Because one is more likely to face this problem on a custom rom.

Anyway, the easiest way to solve this is to install a custom keyboard and disabled the android keyboard. (Disabling it easy. Either do it from Settings > App Manager or Freeze it using Titanium Backup).

Download a Kii Keyboard, free at Play Store. Much closer to stock experience, but better, efficient, improved and slightly more feature rich.

Login to your PlayStore via a PC. Find the Kii Keyboard, and press Install. Keep WiFi on on your device and it'll be installed automatically on your device, as soon as you press the Install Button from your PC.

This problem happened when I updated my friend's phone to CM10.1 and then downgraded to CM10.

Fixed it by going into Settings > Applications > (Keyboard Name) > (and then I think Uninstall...)
