Thanks for the report. I've opened a bug at P1 at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/131755504

Did this newly start occurring in one of the recent alphas? Does it occur both in alpha2 and alpha5?

And is there any chance you can provide us a github link to a small sample app?

We cannot repro this.

Same problem happened to me on Galaxy S5 API21. I can provide more details if it's required.
