I'm genuinely shocked. I assumed that Apple would have foreseen this possibility and locked the Persona's eyes somewhere as long as the user was typing, at least for passwords.
Whole point of the digital face is to look real though, and freezing the gaze would look unnervingly fake.

But you could at least dampen out or randomize eye travel while looking at the keyboard. Fully reproducing eye output is a recipe for disaster, and that should have been obvious.
It's about tradeoffs, the device is barely 7 months old at this point. Thankfully the fix is fairly obvious too.
OTOH once you as an outsider know that sometimes the AVP is lying to you about where the wearer is looking why would you ever trust it?
For example, you could then use the AVP to stare at people and then claim afterwards you were doing no such thing.
Add a faint glow to indicate they're typing and the continued face animation is a stand-in.
