Ever since the latest updates, when using the Contacts App and the Xperia International Keyboard, the soft keyboard does not close itself when the user makes a selection inside the app.
Software versions:
- Android 5.0.2
- build 28.0.A.8.251
- kernel 3.10.49-perf-g301bca8-02001-gdfcafe9
- Contacts App 18.1.A.0.54
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
- Open Contacts App
- Click on search icon (magnifiying glass)
- Soft keyboard opens -> start typing contact name
- Click on contact name in the filtered list
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Upon clicking on the contact name in the filtered list, the soft keyboard should automatically close and the contact's info page should open.
I'M SEEING INSTEAD:
Upon clicking the contact name in the filtered list, the contact's info page is opening, but the soft keyboard is also staying open covering up the contact's info page.
WORKAROUND:
The only workaround I can see for now is to hit the soft "back" button (which appears as a "down" button when the keyboard is open) to close the soft keyboard before actually selecting the contact from the list. Then select the contact from the list.
If you select the contact before hitting the "back" (or "down") button, and try hitting the "back" (or "down") button with the contact page already opened, instead of closing the keyboard it will close the contacts page and the keyboard will stay open (unless you close the keyboard first, you'll be stuck in an infinite loop of selecting and closing the contact, and the keyboard would be open the whole time).
I have made a screen recording to showcase this bug in action: https://youtu.be/W12WyJA0454
