[Help]: Quickbar stops functioning - requiring reinstall

[VGrol]

Android TV Hardware

Chromecast CCWGTV 4k

QuickBars Version

atleast from 1.3 onwards through 1.3.3

Home Assistant Core Version

2026.3.2

What is happening?

There appears to be a rather odd bug that seems to randomly appear after having a successful, functioning setup of Quickbars.
I haven't found a particular trigger, I'm not sure if it coincides with the 1.30 release or this is just a coincidence, but around this release the app has stopped functioning for me entirely. I've not had any issues until 1.3 at least.

In particular this means; The app is still launchable, I can still interact with it like normal but the button mapping no longer works and any previously mapped buttons will still be visible in the app, though they will perform their 'old' function.
It becomes impossible to bind any new buttons in the binding menu.

So far I've attempted to kill the app, reenable the accessibility service, reboot the device, disable all other accessibility services but nothing seems to fix it. Battery saving is also disabled.
I'm now on the fourth 'iteration' of this bug. Sometimes it buys me a few months, other times it's a matter of days.
I cannot seem to find a trigger, power cycling doesn't seem to be it. It just happens 'randomly' and at that point the only solution is a reinstall.

Adding a second button corresponding to a second bar results in both being affected at the same time.
The app does not complain about missing accessibility settings or anything of the sort when this happens either.
Reloading a backup does work, even if the backup was made after the 'bug' goes 'active'.

System details
And I'm using Projectivity Launcher as my Launcher V4.68. (Though disabling it didn't seem to fix anything)
I've bound button 4 (the Netflix button), but when the issue arrises I can no longer bind any of the remote buttons.
