Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mail.app
2. Select any mailbox
3. Pull down to reveal the search bar

5. Select the search bar to active the search controller and present the keyboard
6. Select Cancel
7. Now repeat Step 4
8. The search controller becomes active after canceling the swipe back gesture.
9. This behavior persists for the app's lifetime

The search controller is activated as if you tapped on the search bar
