Description
1. Environment
- OS: Android 9
- APP: 0.11.1
2. Describe the bug
If the main app window has been in the background for some time (5-10 minutes plus?), usually if I've been reading an article, it will be "lost" such that closing the article returns me to my device's launcher, rather than the app its self. Opening the app again causes it to behave as if it was just opened for the first time (brief white screen initially, then loads and refreshes my feeds.) I'm unfamiliar with Android development, but it seems as though something is being disposed of too quickly.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android 9 with app version 0.11.1: open an article, leave the app in the background for several minutes, then close the article. Inspect the Android activity and process lifecycle involved in returning from the article; done means the primary app window remains available and feeds are not reloaded as on a first launch.
