Research direction

The payload names no files or tests. Start by reproducing the app drawer opening under the swipe-up gesture, and check whether its opacity or alpha is being set to zero when the drawer appears. Read the linked issue #69 first, since the reporter suspects it is the same bug. Done would mean a reliable reproduction plus a fix that keeps the drawer visible, but the reporter could not reproduce it reliably, so the scope is unclear.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Open app drawer by swiping up, I can't reproduce it reliably.

It's very rare, it happened only a couple times since the initial release.

Expected behavior

No invisible drawer

Actual behavior

Invisible drawer. Launching apps and long press still works so it has something to do with opacity.
