Latest version (1.30.8) displays the search icon on top of the screen in the notification area (with battery level, network strength, etc.) and is unusable on Android 15 Graphene OS. Note this occurs in portrait mode only. Landscape mode works.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I indeed do see a difference between 1.30.7 and 1.30.8.

1.30.7	1.30.8

These screenshots are from a Google emulator, using Android 15, Default Android System Image. it's the closest I could get to Graphene OS 😅

On the emulator, the search icon is still clickable. But I can indeed see that it's higher up than the previous release.

I'll put updates here as I find more info about this change, or when there's a fix!

This regression was introduced in b7522fa00c24a6674f082accd35d7f84c000215c

Looks like the bug doesn't occur on Android 14.

Also: rolling back targetSdkVersion to 34 removes the regression, on Android 15. (Not saying that's a solution.)

We may be hitting this behavior change, when targeting Android 15, regarding insets: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-15#edge-to-edge

Thanks again for reporting this, and being on the bleeding edge with the latest Android version 😁

Release 1.30.9 (#208) fixes a few related things:

The search icon being mixed with the status bar items.
The last items of a long list being unclickable under the navigation bar.
The content at the top of the settings and about screens being unclickable under the status bar.

However, after pushing this release, I realized that there's still at least one remaining issue: in landscape mode, if you have a navigation bar (you're not using gesture navigation), the overflow menu (the three dots) is unclickable, under the navigation bar:

This is addressed in #209 and will be in release-1.30.10.
