Description

The back button normally cause CordovaWebView.onKeyUp to be called which typically either dispatches the event to javascript or calls backHistory().

However if the softkeyboard is displayed and then hidden, and the android back button is then pressed onKeyUp is never called, and the application exits instead.
(In this case i click on a html text input and either click on the page or press android back button to hide the keyboard.Then i press the android back button to go to the previous page.)

----------EDIT FOR CLARITY-----------------
Just to state the obvious , the current page when i am doing the above is not the first page in history.
If i don't show/hide the softkeyboard, the back button works perfectly and it goes back in history.
----------EDIT FOR CLARITY-----------------
