Top Tab Bar Is Obscured by Floating Windows Such as Music Lyrics Overlay

[luqizhi666]

On the main screen or when entering the project issues page, the top tab bar is often covered by floating windows (for example, music lyrics overlays). When this happens, the tab bar cannot be interacted with or becomes unresponsive, making it difficult to switch between tabs or access navigation functions. This affects the user experience for those who frequently use floating apps.

On Android, floating windows (lyrics, chat bubbles, etc.) cover the tab bar because they use “Draw over other apps.”
Fix:

1. Open Settings → Apps → Special app access → Draw over other apps.
2. Select the app (e.g., Musixmatch, Messenger).
3. Turn off permission or minimize/hide the overlay.

The issue occurs when floating apps (such as music lyric overlays or other picture-in-picture style windows) overlap the top navigation tab bar. When this happens, the tab bar becomes blocked or unresponsive, preventing users from switching tabs or accessing key navigation functions. This creates friction in the user experience, especially for users who frequently rely on floating windows alongside the app.

A fix would be to ensure that the tab bar maintains interaction priority (e.g., adjusting window z-index or touch event handling) so that navigation remains accessible even when floating overlays are present.

hope it helped you and you are gonna accept this answer
