I'm curious why wiping the cache partition was suggested. The cause is almost certainly that you're accidentally hitting the home button when you mean to hit the spacebar. I've done it a hundred times and it took me a while to realize what was happening. No idea why the home key isn't disabled when the keyboard is active.
