What is the bug or the crash? What were your expectations and what actually happened?

What is the bug or the crash? Auf dem neu angekauften Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ SM-X 216R mit Multiwindow kann ich den QField Button „Return Home“ links unten nicht verwenden, da hier die Menülesite des Tablets darüber liegt. In jeder möglichen Ansicht (inklusive Erweiterte Einstellungen) ist entweder dieser Punkt außerhalb des Fensterausschnitts oder eben überdeckt, sichtbar aber nicht anwählbar. Bitte um Hilfe!

Could you provide an English translation of your decision and a screenshot?

@nirvn as far as I understand, this is about the Samsung navigation bar, which is a operating system bar at the bottom of the screen. the QField interface is behind it and the buttons at the bottom of the screen are therefore not reachable.

@robertKlimagaerten3 This bar can be disabled for anyone being hit by this issue: https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/mobile-devices/how-to-hide-the-navigation-bar-on-galaxy-devices/

Since we are able to show the top buttons a bit displaced so they don't overlap with the top system bar, I wonder if we could do the same with the bottom buttons?
