I've tested it on 2 other android devices (not your device model), but couldn't reproduce your problem 🤔
I wonder if anyone else can confirm to reproduce the problem? Not sure if it is device specific.

I think this problem is fixed in the 1.8 release which I still haven't got published on the play store. The apk is available in the mobile releases repo though.

yes, I've updated to version 1.8 in the android release and this issue has been fixed. Hope this version update can be launched on Google Play. Thank you for your work :) I'll close this issue.
