Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/19

Impossible to show the bug, it only appears on the phone screen but not on the cmd.

randomly, it goes on the phone galerie.
(even one time on my own profile, i can suppose that is "normal" to make a more human interaction like said in the notice)
I suppose that it's press the wrong key,
(the "+" instead of "back" or "search" key)
the script continue as nothing happens but the phone is totally elsewhere than it should be...
maybe resolution of the screen is different as it suppose to be in the script?

not easy cause it needs to be a video record of the phone screen to really see what happen.
And in fact, it appear ramdomly, so need to check every seconds and start record when happen ^^"

By the way, you'll don't see more than the phone trying to like and goes into gallery ("+" key)
Then it act without any sens until press the back button of the script to get back on follower list.

I didn't let it make all the action to prevent a wrong post...

Not enought space or memory to launch/install any other app...
(uninstall everything just to can install insta)
But not seems to make this bug with another phone (my more recent one i mean)

And i don't saw any "precise" thing.
Just as a "miss click" that put in gallery instead of liking a pic.
Was for that reason that i said this maybe cause by the resolution of the screen (to make understandable for you).

I had similar bug, but in my case there were accidental presses on Back arrow in profile instead of Like button. Explanation was quite funny – Like button sometimes appeared to be right below the Back arrow.

Can't the same happen in your case? Is it possible that Like button is exactly under the "+" button?

Do you mean unexpected backpress? I thought I've fixed this bug finally...
Well, I think screenshots of the state where it happens can help.
