Android: TIC80 (PRO) not showing virtual gamepad every second run about tic-80 HOT 6 OPEN

Can confirm what Harald writes, for me it happens now and then (current Smartphone: Motorola Edge, Android 12 - but it happened on all(?) previous android versions on different smartphone models). But I could never successfully reproduce it, so it always remained a mystery

from tic-80.

@githubharald which flavor of Android and what's the exact device?

from tic-80.

@aliceisjustplaying : the device is a Galaxy A34. About "flavor of Android" - what do you mean with that, kernel version, or build number?

BTW, just tested it with my old phone where I also had an old TIC80 version (1.0.2164) installed, there I started TIC80 twice, and the second time also the virtual gamepad disappeared. So it seems to be some more generic bug, not really tied to the Android and TIC80 version.

Can you reproduce on your end?

@aliceisjustplaying : any update here? The bug is still tagged with "needs more info", but we (@phedoff and me) provided the required info.

@githubharald As far as I remember, the gamepad has an auto-hide timeout of 10 seconds, but it should appear again if you tap the screen. Second thing, we have the --input: [mouse|gamepad|keybord] tag where you can enable only one input method, do you use it in your game? I wonder because a bug can happen when you use this tag.
Third, could you pls check the latest dev build from nightly builds, does it reproduce?
