On older versions of Android, the Cut/Copy/Paste edit menu (i.e., the menu displayed when the user selects some text) displays at the top of the screen, and can be dismissed by clicking the back arrow:
On newer versions of Android (not sure when this changed), the edit menu is a popup. I don't see a back arrow here:
How does the user dismiss this menu on newer versions of Android? I realize that this is a complete newbie question, but I can't for the life of me figure it out, and Google searches result in lots of hits for programmatically removing the menu. I'm interested in what the user needs to do to dismiss it.
EDIT/UPDATE: I neglected to mention what the context is here. I'm working within contenteditable <div> elements in a web view. The user is an older guy who sometimes holds down his taps too long, triggering the menu by mistake (although I would imagine other users with mobility issues could do this as well). He just wants to dismiss the menu without leaving the web page.
