Ionic-framework: Bug: Ion-Textarea toggles and losses focus everytime on tap

[shyamal890]

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[ ] 1.x
[x ] 2.x

[ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or http://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior:
Clicking/tapping on textarea toggles focus and keyboard.

Expected behavior:
When tap occurs, if the focus/keyboard is not shown -> show keyboard and focus input. If the textarea has focus and keyboard is open -> tap on ion-textarea should not loose focus and close keyboard, instead should allow user to change the location of cursor and select text in textarea.

Steps to reproduce:
Just create a ion-textarea and try in android

Related code:

<ion-textarea class="name-input"
                  placeholder="name"
                  [(ngModel)]="name"></ion-textarea>

EDIT: I tested by wrapping ion-textarea with ion-item and it works fine.
