Why is the google voice to text box not going away?

[AC Question]

Occasionally, although it has been happening more and more often, the google voice to text (dictation service) has the box stay on the screen even after I turn off the screen. Then, it does not respond to clicking the (X) but it will go to settings from the gear icon. This is a big problem for me because the only way I can fix it is to restart my phone and the only surefire way to prevent it is to exit the dictation service box before I close the screen.

More information after I logged in: I'm having this problem on a Samsung Galaxy S6 with the default launcher. I purchased the phone new about a month ago. Thanks for your help!

I can also verify this problem is occuring.

I have a Moto X 1st gen running 4.4.4. I usually dictate my emails or text messages. within the last week this has resulted in the dialog box remaining open and unresponsive to all but the settings soft button. I have cleared it by closing apps (rotating the phone sideways and flicking the apps off the screen) then going to the home page. But it's annoying.
