ionic beta 13 is making my input box footer fly out of frame on keyboard up

So this used to work on ionic beta 12 but now that I've updated to beta 13, the footer that has an input box (for a messaging screen) flys out of view when I click on it to open the keyboard. when I start typing it shows the footer floating in the middle of the screen.

I've created a plnkr.. which kind of simulates the issue if you look at the embedded version with an iphone... but doesn't mimic exactly the same issue as on an anctual cordova install on a device

To reproduce in cordova, just add this footer to the starter sidemenu app

  <ion-footer-bar align-title="left" keyboard-attach class="bar-assertive item-input-inset chatFooter">
    <label class="item-input-wrapper">
      <i class="icon ion-ios7-chatbubble placeholder-icon"></i>
      <input type="search" ng-model="data.message" id="newComment" placeholder="type comment...">
    </label>
    <button class="button" ng-click="addComment()">Send</button>
  </ion-footer-bar>
