Bottom navigation hidden behind another view

[geekygecko]

Description

A user has reported when they return to the app the bottom navigation is hidden.

With the current version of the app, when I switch back from another app, I often get the bottom menu blocked by a grey bar that looks like a broken version of the episode pop-up (with the add to up next top/bottom buttons etc), and I have to swipe to close the app to resolve the issue.

Screenshot of behaviour - see grey area at the bottom of the screen, Pixel 6 with latest Android 15/February 2025, with Gemini installed if that's relevant. I can just see the top of 2 blue icons at the bottom matching actions in the episode menu.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

I haven't been able to repeat this issue but the user says it's when they switch back to the app.

Would it be possible to check if version 7.85 fixes this issue? As it might with the following fix. It will be out in beta from the 17th March.
