Research direction

Open Settings and follow the Launcher tab’s shortcut editor to the back-button handling; the issue does not name files or tests, so first locate those entry points in the QML settings UI. Reproduce by opening the shortcut editor from Launcher and pressing Back. Done when Back returns to the Launcher tab.
