Bug report: On-screen touch controls bug in 1.3.32
When using Steam Link v1.3.32 app on my tablet with the on-screen controls, the first tap brings up the Andriod back/home/app list bar and the Steam host only registers the control button presses while that bar is open.

The bar hides after a few seconds of inactivity and the next tap again isn't registered by Steam while Android brings the bar up again.

The problem doesn't manifest when downgraded to v1.3.31

Could you detail what Android device and version you're on?

As explanation, there was an issue on some Android 15/16 devices where it would not honor the "disable predictive back button" setting, and would instead put Steam Link in a bad half-killed state where relaunching it would not work. So I added some (very basic) support for the back button invocation handling to SDL, and tested it on a bunch of different Android devices..

But while it worked for me in all the testing, that feels like the most likely change to have caused an issue for you in 1.3.32... thus, me asking what you're using, so I can try to add something new to the test devices.

Hello @Packetdancer

My problems sound very much like this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/4/571543760192672157/#c580552523733111685

My device is a FireHD 8 (12th generation) running Fire OS 8.3.3.8. I believe it's Android 11 under the hood
