Description

There appears to be a bug with on Kindle / FireOS where translucent activities can occasionally disappear when returning back to them.

Device Tested:

Reproduced on a number of kindles, but the one in the video is as follows

Model: Fire HD 8 (10th generation)

Build: 0022247233412

Reproduction Steps:

Note: This does not happen every time, sometimes it happens on the first try, other times it takes many (tens of tries).

Note: This appears to only happen when using a custom tabs view intent to open the Silk browser, and not a regular view intent.

  6. Press the back button

  9. Observe pressing back briefly shows the activity finishing with an exit transition
