Keyboard pops up again after dismiss (Android)

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Here is the sequence of events that seems to make this happen:

  1. I am using the ion-searchbar
  2. I type in text into the searchbar
  3. I hit the clear button within the searchbar
  4. I try to dismiss the keyboard using the Android button that pops up at the bottom of the keyboard (upside down triangle icon on Moto Z, Android 7.0)
  5. The keyboard disappears for a split second, then pops right back up
  6. I dismiss the keyboard using the same method
  7. It goes away for good

So my question is, why does it pop right back up?

Again, it only happens when I use the clear button within the searchbar. If I simply type in text, delete the text using backspace, and then dismiss the keyboard, it does not pop right back up.

Thanks!
