Description
A user reported (4575512-zen) that the progress bar went missing when they were playing the "Great Night Patron Feed" podcast (1737906). They did not experience this issue when playing another podcast with a similar color scheme (Lehto's Law - 422758).

We haven't been able to reproduce this on Android 10 and 12 (internal ref - p1643008723221200-slack-C02A333D8LQ)
The user is using the Extra Dark theme on app version 7.19.1 (7326) with Samsung Sans font.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G
OS: Android 12 (One UI version 4.0)
App version 7.19.1

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing playback for “Great Night Patron Feed” with the Extra Dark theme and Samsung Sans on the reported Android device, then compare it with “Lehto’s Law”; done means the progress bar is visible for the affected podcast.
