Not a source issue its a player UI issue The player moves subtitles up on every tap Removing that movement or adding a toggle fixes it

Research direction

Start by locating the Android player UI, Player Settings, and the logic that repositions subtitles when playback controls appear. Trace the behavior on screen taps and check how three-or-more-line subtitles overlap the play button. Done means the new "Lock subtitle position" toggle keeps subtitles fixed at the bottom when enabled, while the existing behavior remains available when it is disabled.
