Description
I couldn't reliably replicate this even though I did see it a couple of times before. But it happened to me again today in the morning. When I tried to like a post from an email, the app opens up but the like doesn't go through. Going back and repeating did, though and it worked afterwards.
It seems that when the WordPress app is in the background the Intent data doesn't get passed to the app the first time. The weird thing is that I couldn't replicate it by killing the app or using "Don't keep activities" option.

Research direction
The issue identifies Android Intent data handling when the app is in the background, but names no file or test. Start by tracing the Intent path used when opening a post from an email, then reproduce the first-tap case with the app backgrounded; done means the like consistently succeeds on the first attempt.
