Ionic-framework: Long press on ion-textarea to show "paste" menu does not work (android)

Current behavior:
When long tapping on an ion-textarea using an android device, the keyboard disappears instead of showing the standard android overlay for pasting content.
I found a workaround by doing

ion-textarea .input-cover {
  display: none;
}

, knowing that this probably breaks something else.

Expected behavior:
The standard android overlay for pasting content should appear

Steps to reproduce:
create an ion-textarea somewhere and do a long tap on it on an android device

Hello, thanks for using Ionic. We will look into this.

I have the same issue, but using display: none; for .input-cover will break the blur on ion-inputs for iOS, after leaving the input (by tapping something else) the input field will re-focus the input and pop-up the keyboard again. This only happens if you tab below the selected input field not above. (Which is really weird behaviour and I couldn't find find any reason for it.)

This happens only on devices running 9.3

Hello all, unfortunately, i cannot reproduce this issue on either a moto g running Android 4.4.4 or a Nexus 6 running Android 7.1.1. Could you guys create a minimal repo we could use to reproduce this issue?

Hello all, I had same problem and I looked for this for a long time.
I found the solution for my problem here. Make sure <ion-textarea> in an <ion-item>.
