Setting as Urgent, since it's probably trivial to fix.

I am able to replicate on one device. It starts Google Now application. But this is a system shortcut. I don't think that anything is wrong here.

It was also my mistake to think that long press is needed for menu, short press suffices. However this raises the question if long press should hide the menu?

Yes, I suppose that we could avoid showing the menu in this case.

I still see the menu open on long press, this results in the need for 3 back taps to get out of keyboard, search, and then menu.

Confirmed that the issue persists on GS4.

It started Google now search on my device. And it worked for me. But I found out that the long press behaviour of home and menu button might be configurable and that you are talking about in-app search.

So I tried another approach to hopefully cover all possibilities.

NOTE: Some devices that do not have dedicated Switch Task Button (Like Nexus 7 or Asus MemoPad 7HD have) use long press on Home to show list of tasks adn long press of Menu to initiate Search.
