Describe the bug
After task switching out of the calculator, I lose the overview/recents button from the softkeys. The overview button returns inside the settings menu, but disappears after exiting the settings menu. Killing the app brings the overview button back until the next time I switch away from it. This is the only app on my phone so affected. (Incidentally, this bug is also present in the stock Android calculator, and was present since I got this phone on Android 14, and has persisted through Androids 15 and 16. But maybe you can figure out what's happening!)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Press the overview button (square) in the softkeys to bring up the app switcher
  2. Select any app, or even select the calculator again
  3. If you picked another app, switch back to the calculator
  4. The overview button is now gone.

Expected behavior
The overview/recents button should always be present.
