Google Maps on my Android (Galaxy Nexus) phone has now developed an annoying habit of making the keyboard disappear while I'm typing in an address. I type in a couple of letters and the keyboard slides out. I tap again in the input box to bring it back up, type in another letter, and then it slides out again.
I haven't been able to figure out a repeatable way to get this to happen, but it seems to have started happening in the last few weeks. Rebooting the phone usually makes it go away, but only for a short while. I haven't seen this weird keyboard disappearing behavior in any other app, so it makes me think it's something specific to Google Maps. It's making the app pretty much unusable.
I used to hit this a lot in Maps on Android. It would happen whenever the GPS position fix changed; my location would change and it would 'reset' the UI for some reason, hiding the keyboard.

Anyone else seeing this?

There is a bug in iOS[Redacted] that causes similar behavior.
