[BUG] OS navigation buttons disappear when viewing an image full screen

[MrPaz]

Describe the bug When I click on an image to view it full screen, the OS navigation buttons (Back, Home, Overview/Recent) at bottom of the screen disappear after a moment. This means the only way to escape the image is the X in the top left corner - however, that is where my front camera lens is and it makes it very difficult to hit the X, not to mention it makes me have to reach all the way to the top right which makes one-handed navigation impossible.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on any image in feed to view full screen
2. Image loads in full screen
3. Notice after a moment the OS navigation buttons at bottom of screen disappear

Expected behavior Navigation buttons to stay on screen while viewing image (like twitter/X, other social) for easy escape of image

Video and Screenshots First screenshot, image right after it loads with navigation buttons displaying. Second screenshot seconds later with no navigation buttons.

Device (please complete the following information):

• Phone Brand/Model [e.g. Pixel 7 Pro]: Pixel 5a with Calyx OS v5.7.2
• Android Version [e.g. 33]: 14
• App Version [e.g. v0.20.3]: v0.87.5 and all previous versions

If you tap the screen or do the gesture of scrolling up the buttons don't appear back?

No gestures or tapping don't make the buttons reappear.
