Android 13 Split screen bug

Is there a place where I can file a bug on SysUI?

Since I don't know where, I'll post it here.

 

Description:

The first app on split screen retains it's window even on recent apps screen. There are no options to close the app, and the issue also blocks users from enabling split screen via recent apps key.

Preconditions:

  • 3 Button Navigation enabled
  • Developer options enabled
  • Force all activities to be resizable (Settings > Developer options > Apps)
  • Press and hold to split screen enabled (Settings > Advanced > screenshot)

Steps to reproduce:

  • 1. Open any app. Eg: Firefox nightly, Settings, MyAsus, etc
  • 2. Press the home button
  • 3. Open another app different from the step 1.
  • 4. Press and hold the recent apps key
  • 5. Select the first app in step 1 for the bottom window/split app
  • 6. Tap the recent apps key to enter the recent apps screen
  • 7. Observe

Observed results:

  • 10/10 - 100% repro rate
  • There will be the top app splash screen hovering over the recent apps. The splash screen preview will block the menu options for apps within the recent apps.
  • Users will not be able to dismiss the app preview, nor remove or disable split screen.
  • See attached video for reference and repro.

Expected results:

  • Users should have an option to dismiss the app that is stuck at the top of the screen.

Workarounds:

  • Restart the device

I am also running into the same bug and have to clear all apps to reset functionality. Then split will work only once by holding the recents key. Overlay can become permanently stuck even after clearing all apps.
