UPDATE: I was promptly contacted by customer support, which contacted the development team and released a new version which fixed the bug. Thanks! ### I am testing the Papers App on my phone (Android) but the full screen layout is too big and not working, I cannot access icons and buttons and settings because outside of the touch screen range or overlapping with the top screen notifications. Device: Xiaomi 14 (2024) Android version: 15
