Current behavior:
On iOS, when the ion-searchbar element blurs, the keyboard leaves a white square at the bottom of the screen.

Expected behavior:
Worked fine in ionic 2.x

Steps to reproduce:
Deploy to iOS. Click on searchbar to focus. Then blur the search-bar by clicking on a button (or something similar)

Related code:

<ion-content padding>
  <ion-searchbar ></ion-searchbar>
  <button ion-button (click)="doSomething()"></button>
</ion-content>

Other information:
Tested on ionic starter as well, to make sure the issue was not related to our app.

Hello, thanks for using Ionic. Unfortunately, i cannot reproduce this issue, would you be able to post a repo we could use to reproduce this? Also, are you running into this issue on a dev or prod build?

Dont know if its the same issue but it behaves the same with tabs. Its simple to reproduce, create a new tabs project, add a search-bar and then focus and blur. The tabs wont be on the bottom at first, rather "jump" to its correct position when the keyboard is closed.

@asplundo Yes, we tried with tabs as well, is related to the same issue. With regular ion-input fields it works fine

Hello everyone! Would you all mind checkout out this doc and try the solution there? Thanks!

Thanks @jgw96! This specific wkwebview branch does fix the blur of searchbar :) No white rectangle in iOS.

Unfortunately, this does break hiding keyboard on an ion-scroll subscription. This does often leave a white rectangle in the bottom. See this branch: a ionic-searchbar-bug#wkwebviewfix-scroll-issue

[jgw96]

Ahh good find! At this point I am going to move this issue to the wkwebview repo as this is now an issue with wkwebview. Thanks for using Ionic!

i don't understand the issue, a white rectangle where? gif?

[appelstroop]

Hi @manucorporat,

This issue was moved from Ionic. The wkwebview plugin fixes some keyboard issues, but the following movie shows that ionScroll events leaves a white rectangle where the keyboard was:
