Hey everyone.

Looks like I'm having issues with apps which use "Appear on top" permissions like FB Messenger after the One UI 4.1 update. When I open up a cheat head and then back out of it, the screen doesn't react to the next two touches/swipes/taps. Anywhere I touch/tap/swipe is not reacting except the chat head, if I touch the cheat head it reacts to my touches/taps/swipes. It seems like the screen stays in the "Appear on top" mode even though I'm not using that app in that moment. If I enter some chat by opening up the whole Messenger app and then back out of it completely, I don't have this issue since the app wasn't using the "Appear on top" permissions in that case.
I've also noticed that if I watch a video over YouTube (with that same permission enabled) in fullscreen mode and then exit out of it by clicking the home button, the same thing happens but if I turn of the "Appear on top" permission for the YouTube app the issue stops.

Edit: looks like turning off "Appear on top" no longer helps with YouTube.. 

Any tips on how to fix this?

Edit: things I've tried: turning on touch sensitivity; clearing cache for both apps I've noticed the issue on; wiping cache partition; reinstalling the apps completely; restarting the phone

I've actually turned it on before figuring out what was causing the issue and it didn't help.

But thanks for the suggestion

reset your device factory default once!

Will have to try this out as well but don't have anywhere to backup all the data to right now. I've got a lot of gigabytes of videos/pictures and don't have access to my PC to back it all up. Also uploading it all to some cloud would take days.

I don't have facebook but I don't have this issue in YouTube. I am using gesture navigation though.
