Here is the Scenario:

My phone is locked and at the "Draw Pattern to Unlock" screen.  Someone sends me a text message.  (Keep in mind the phone is locked)  The message appears in full on the screen and I have the ability to reply.  Once I press send the phone goes back to the "Draw Pattern to Unlock"

Here is my analogy of this:  I am using any version of Windows and have locked my desktop which requires a password to unlock.  A co-worker sends me an e-mail and even though my desktop is locked the message shows up while I am away.  Someone walking by my desk can simply type a bogus reply and hit send.  The screen now returns to the press CTRL + ALT + DEL to unlock.   

So the question I ask is how is this any different?  Why bother having a security unlock patter?

I called Samsung this morning to explain this and they said that they would consider this issue for a future phone release.  I explained that my Samsung Moment did not have this issue.  I just spent $200 out of pocket for this phone and in my opinion it is flawed and a patch should be sent to fix this issue ASAP.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?  Or have you experienced this issue?

Are you using the stock messaging app, or did you replace it with something else like Handcent or Chomp?

Yeah. That sounds like it's the handcent quick reply box. The stock messaging app can't/won't do that.
