ionic-framework: Bug/Problem with setTimeout function

Ionic version: [ ] 1.x [ ] 2.x [x] 3.x

I’m submitting a [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request

Current behavior: setTimeout() always wait for about an extra second despite what ever time I set.

Expected behavior: The function to only wait the duration I set or at least close enough to it.

Steps to reproduce: 1- Create a blank app. 2- Use setTimeout() with any time less than 1 second -to notice the problem easier.

Related code:

console.log('Timer Start');
let timeOutHandler = setTimeout(
    ()=>{
        console.log('Timer End');
    },
    100
);

Other information:

• I am using setTimeout() to keep track of some user events -like scroll ending-, which worked as expected (executed a function after a set time of milliseconds).

• A few days ago I updated my device WebView to the latest version. Immediately after the function stopped working correctly. (tested on 60.0.3112.107 & 60.0.3112.116)

• Didn’t get the same issue with a blank Cordova app.

• I tested the function in different parts/pages of the app.

• I tested on 3 android devices with the same results.

• The problem only appears in the latest WebView update (maybe slightly earlier updates too).

• The tests where done in blank apps.

• Of course the code above was written by JavaScript for the cordova app.
