Current Behavior

The value entered in an IonInput field disappears after the user returns from viewing a PDF document. This occurs when navigating away from the page containing the IonInput to view the PDF, and then navigating back to the original page.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is for the IonInput to retain its value

Steps to Reproduce

1. yarn or npm i for install dependencies
2. yarn start or npm run start to serve app on 0.0.0.0:4200
3. open {host}:4200 with safari on iphone (tested on iphone 13 and iphone 8)
4. click on "open pdf" link (safari will open pdf file in the same tab)
5. return back
