In update 2.16.3, fix #14231 for issue #14142 was published, altering the behavior of a specific bug. While the highlight color changed from bright to dark, the root problem still persists. Reverting the Pull Request would not be beneficial, as it would not resolve the underlying issue.

Reproduction Steps

Option 1: Using a Bluetooth Keyboard

1. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard.
2. Go to the deck.
3. Press space, then 4.

Option 2: Using an (Xbox) Bluetooth Controller

1. Connect an (Xbox) Bluetooth controller.
2. Assign a key to a joystick or trigger (seem to always trigger the problem).
3. Go to the deck.
4. Press one of the assigned keys.

Expected Result

The screen's brightness/contrast should not change.

Actual Result

Instead, the screen appears as though it has been selected or highlighted (dark). This state persists through the cards, and the only ways to fix it are to either exit to the deck overview or close the app altogether.

I have no experience with Android, so I consulted GPT-4 about this issue. My insights may not be of much help, as I'm unfamiliar with the underlying setup, such as the use of WebView or the specific layout causing the problem. Additionally, I am not aware of any potential side effects that may arise from this:

WebView webView = findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setFocusable(false);
webView.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);

Or

<resources>
    <style name="ThemeOverlay.DisableKeyboardHighlight" parent="">
        <item name="android:focusable">false</item>
        <item name="android:focusableInTouchMode">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Same behavior as #14142, but this is much less intrusive. The major problem is risk of regressions

I don't have a solution for this, but I'm commenting to follow the issue. I sporadically experience this screen hightlight when using a keyboard with other apps such as Fennec and NewPipe

it has been almost a year since this issue was created, but it seems that none of 2.18 beta branches contain fix of this issue. and any patch note about 2.18 branches doesn't mention this issue. so i just wanted ask.. by any chance does 2.18 beta branches contain fix of this issue..?

It doesn't
