Bug: Counter window pops back up unexpectedly

[MikeStirner]

I'm noticing a bug where if the app's been open for a while then when you scroll down at least a little bit and look at the hourly, daily, weekly, ot monthly data for a counter then you close that window and then you exit the app to your home screen and then go back into the app and scroll up towards to top then that little window view pops back up, but if you actually force close (swipe away) the app, then it fixes it for 10 mins or an hour or something.

This is an old bug that has resurfaced but in a new way.

version 4.9.3

The steps for reproducing the bug, in better counter:

1. Look at the hourly, daily, or weekly graph for one of the counters.
2. swipe down on it to hide it.
3. Go back to your Android home screen.
4. Go back to the Better Counter app.
5. Start scrolling down your list of counters.

The bug I'm getting when I do this is that the last graph pops back up.

Does it happen every time? I can't reproduce it following your same steps. I have 15 counters and I do not close the app when I go back to the Android home screen.

I was checking just now and it wasn't happening, but then after a couple more tries it started happening again.

After further testing, I realized that the bug doesn't happen if you swipe left or right to go back a day or back an hour or whatever, but if you don't swipe it all, left or right, and you simply swipe down to dismiss the graph, then these steps should work.

But when I try it on my other device (a old Pixel XL), it's not having the bug. And I don't think it has anything to do with the number of counters that you have because I made the number of counters the same on both devices and I still can't get the bug to happen on my Pixel.

The device that the bug is happening on is my Samsung S20 running Android 13. I have 168 counters.

It's such a minor bug though. So it's not a big deal. It might just have something to do with my phone. Probably not worth spending any time on, especially since you can't reproduce it on your device.

I'm very curious what could be causing it, though, so if you figure out anything else please let me know :)
