@WITHHELDUSERNAME : as you're using version 0.28.2, I'm guessing you get Tubular from F-Droid ?

If so, consider uninstalling it, then download the latest 0.28.4 from the Releases page on here, and see if you still have the issue

---

@ the Tubular team on here: is there any-way you could get F-Droid to update the Tubular version they host any quicker? 🤔

@WITHHELDUSERNAME : F-Droid now has the latest 0.28.4 Tubular version, so once you update, this issue should be resolved
