Description:
When a user attempts to perform a rocketbar search when there is a dropdown dialog window open in the background (ex: Email Settings -> 'Check for new messages'), the currently open dialog window will disappear into the background and reveal the UI behind it while the user is searching. When the search is closed, the dialog will return. The dialog disappears in time with the keyboard locking into the screen giving an awkward UI transition to the behavior.

Typing into the search field will mutate the issue into matching the behavior for flame: dialog remains open when user searches, may 'flash' when search is closed.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Xperia Z3 Compact to 20150526104521
2) Open the Settings app
3) Navigate to 'Messaging Settings'
4) Tap 'Auto Retrieve' dropdown button to open dialog
5) Tap 'Search the web' to begin rocketbar search
6) Observe UI transitions as Keyboard enters screen

Actual:
Dialog disappears when keyboard appears on screen; closing search returns dialog

Expected:
* Dialog remains on screen when User begins searching
* Dialog closes on opening 'Search the web'; does not return after search is closed
