bug(YouTube): Settings menus layout is broken on Android 15

[Wojtaz0w]

Bug description

Hello. I patched YouTube 19.45.38 with ReVanced patches 5.1.0 and the layout inside of ReVanced settings categories is broken; they are partially underneath the status bar on my Pixel 9, which makes some toggles impossible/ very hard to tap

Error logs

Solution

Additional context

Return YT Dislike and Sponsor lock settings are not affected, most likely they are coded in different way..? I'm not sure, I ain't no coder, they do have an animation when opening and the rest of settings don't

Try turning off recommended version checks in Manager and try patching 19.46.40 (it should patch successful), and see if the issue is fixed.

If it's not, then uninstall patched YT and try patching 19.43.41 (a supported version).

Report back if either of these fix it.

[Wojtaz0w]

The bug is still present on version 19.46.40

The bug doesn't occur in version 19.43.41

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

For now keep patching 19.43 until a fix can be figured out.

@Wojtaz0w Try patching 19.45.38 using patches vers. 5.0.2, you can use ReVanced CLI as of now because ReVanced manager can not select patches version (it always uses latest patches available)

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

I don't think any changes in 5.1 could have caused this, but if someone want to try patching the prior version then go ahead.

The problem is likely an incompatibility of YT 19.45 and the way the ReVanced settings menu is loaded.

I think fixing #388 will also fix this issue.
Fixing the navigation bar back button does not fix this issue.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios From this comment #3989 (comment) it could be patches issue, he downgraded the patches version and the issue gone.

That comment is for a different bug and is fixed with https://www.github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/pull/3990

I remember someone mentioning that the issue is happening on the YouTube app and not just the settings. They mentioned an Android setting to toggle which would fix the issue but I don't remember which one. In any case, if it's caused by a patch, the one who downgraded should identify which exact version introduces the bug

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

The issue can be reproduced using the Android emulator with a new Pixel device image running Android 15.

For pixel devices the transparent navigation bar setting is not on by default, and turning it off does not fix or change the bug behavior.

This only occurs when "Transparent navigation bar" toggle in developer options is enabled. This toggle is disabled by default for me.

Nevermind, I can now reproduce the issue even when the toggle is disabled. Not sure if something affected the issue or I just didn't test it carefully when writing the comment (the issue is not as visible on my end).
