Description
Expected behavior
Toasts across the app are centered unless this is defined explicitly.
Actual behavior
Since Android 11 the Toast gravity setter has no effect and the Toasts are positioned at the bottom of the screen.
In some cases this may result in actionable buttons being inaccessible for the short time when the Toast is visible.

Research direction
The toast behavior is referenced in WordPressUtils/src/main/java/org/wordpress/android/util/ToastUtils.java; start there and compare Android's Toast.setGravity behavior on Android 11+. Reproduce on a Pixel 5 with Android 12 and verify that app toasts remain centered without obscuring actionable buttons.
