      1. Build and install to an Android device
      1. Press menu and press ok on the alert several times

      Expected behavior

      The alert("menu") should show up every time menu is pressed

      Actual Result

      The alert shows up like this:

      1. menu press: It is displayed
      2. menu press: It is displayed
      3. menu press: It is not displayed
      4. menu press: It is displayed
      5. menu press: It is not displayed
        and so on.

      Another way to reproduce:

      1. Run the previous cordova application on Android
      2. Press menu and press ok on the alert twice
      3. swipe the screen
      4. Press menu (the alert is displayed)
      5. swipe the screen
      6. Press menu (the alert is displayed)
      7. swipe the screen
      8. Press menu (the alert is displayed)
        and so on....
      9. Press menu (the alert is displayed)
      10. Tap the screen (the alert("click") is not displayed)
      11. Press menu (the alert is displayed)
      12. Tap the screen (the alert("click") is not displayed)
        and so on...

      Final thoughts

      When the menu button is pressed the next event is ignored.

      thanks.
