Bug description
For the past week or so occasionally when I try to go from a conversation to the conversation list by tapping the back arrow button it will not take me. The button highlights itself, so the tap is acknowledged, but it just sits there. When this does happen it tends to continue to ignore the button presses for several seconds.

Research direction
Start with the linked debug log and the conversation screen's back-arrow navigation on Android 14 with Signal 7.69.2, reproducing on a Pixel 5 if possible. Done means identifying why taps are intermittently ignored, fixing the return to the conversation list, and adding regression coverage for the behavior.
