Description

When Element goes background (by navigating to another app or locking the device), most of the time it loses its state and launches again.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the app backgrounding and device-locking flows, then trace where application state is saved and restored; done means Element returns with its previous state instead of relaunching.
