Chat Issues - Iphone 6/iOS8+

Anyone else experiencing this?:

On a fresh load of the app, I'm able to chat in the alliance chat panel. Upon completing a battle, I'm then unable to send messages in alliance chat until I force close the program and re-open it. It's been ongoing for over a month. It's really annoying. I sent in a bug report and they noted that they would be fixing it in an upcoming patch. (r65 I believe.) Unfortunately... all that did was fix whatever bug was happening for android.
