Still persists in [9.29.0](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-android/29115/476).

Unlike the Windows app, I feel like half the user experience is circumventing severe chronic bugs that exist for as long as I use the app. Even more worrysome is that I reported the bug literally mere days after the problematic update released and after almost 3 months, not even the beta version has fixed a what seems like a trivial code error.  
This appears to be only an issue with Android, I’ve had a good experience with a quite minor Win PMP bug, and with minor a mean a [tiny edge of a tiny circle wasn’t displaying correctly](https://forums.plex.tv/t/position-highlighter-on-seek-bar-cut-off/745765). And it’s not like it’s a niche app with 10M+ downloads on the Google Play Store, with mostly every download being a paying user.  
I’ll try to monitor this bug as long as can, but I don’t see me confirming this bug for every release/update that comes in the next dozen months… But I hope it doesn’t take another 3 months to fix `:)`
