Top-right menu buttons aren't working (lemmy.sdf.org)

It's been a week or two now since the top-right menu buttons stopped working for me. I can use the one to select between "Local", "Subscribed", and "All", but the buttons for the sort/time and the three-dots button don't do anything anymore. Has anyone else been having this problem? (And if so, have you found a way to fix it?)

Edit: Jerboa Version 0.0.49, Android Version 12, Surface Duo 2

Also, after a force stop of the app and rebooting the phone, it now works on the left screen, but not the right screen. I tested to make sure it wasn't a dead spot on the touch screen, and that corner is responsive in the OS and other apps. So apparently it's just this app in the top right corner of the right screen which seems very odd.

Another edit: the top right corner button for saving posts or comments and other interactions work fine in the top right of the right screen, it's just the menu buttons that don't work on the right screen

I'm not really sure. It's been doing this for about 2 weeks now, but I don't recall if there was an associated update as I don't remember exactly when it started. That's why I was hoping to find someone else having the same problem to look for correlations.

Did it start when the dialogs of the corners changed? Did you ever see the new design?

I don't think I did. When they do work on the left screen I think they're different than I remember.

Does the more options work on the posts? Can you see the new design there?

I'll see tonight if I can reproduce it somehow

The "more options" does not work on posts on the right screen, it does work on the left screen.

I see know what you mean with "left" and "right" screen. I thought it was a tablet first. Most likely it places the dialog in the wrong location.

But if I can't reproduce this it's gonna be hard to fix.

Given that there is the workaround of using the other screen and the Surface Duo 2 is probably not a very common device, I'd say that if there isn't a straightforward solution to not worry about it.

The thing is, I am using a third party library for those dialogs. They would be very interested in a minimum reproduction of the problem. So I wouldn't have to invest to much time to fix it.
