This is a fatal bug, yet it hasn't been fixed for five months. I stopped playing the game because this annoying bug keeps forcing me to reopen the app multiple times.
This issue still exists in BE v26.10. My device is a Redmi Turbo 5 (2511FRT34C) running Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16).
This is a very important issue, I judge it as a problem in the Safe zone.
Reproduction steps:
Open the settings, try clicking the return button when the security zo
ne is 100%, the return button does not work
Adjust the safety zone to 50% (the range suitable for my equipment), try clicking the return button, the button does not work
Change the safety zone to 0%, and change the vertical safety zone and the horizontal safety zone to 90 (a very extreme method), to ensure that the return button in the upper left corner is farthest from the screen edge, press the button, and the button works.
Change the horizontal safety zone and vertical safety zone to 0, press the button, and the button does not work.
I hope this bug can be fixed as soon as possible because it greatly reduces the player's gaming experience.
Here's the English translation of the revised version you approved:
"I recently found a workaround. Here's how to do it:
Set the safe zone to minimum
Open the new ultra-large UI
Click on the right side of '<' to exit
This method works, but it's only a last resort. This bug is really bad and has been around for a long time without any fix or response from the developers. I hope the official team will pay more attention to the Bedrock Edition. Negligence and careless changes like this will only drive players away. After all, the Bedrock Edition is still one of your sources of revenue."
The back button on the device navigation bar also cannot go back.

However they fixes the Android’s system back button/Swipe to back on edge screen in 26.60.22/23 Beta & Preview As of mentioned in UI Section Changelog: Fixed Android back button not working in Ore UI
But still an issue due to UI Scale modifier set into 60% (or smaller) and a max Screen safe area causes the back button harder to press or crossing into outer curve edge corner in 20:9, 19.5:9 and 21:9 Phone Screens
The back button will be crossing out into the outer curve edge corner screens
To improve that screen, I recommend set UI Scale modifier to 80% - 100% or larger by enable “Extra large new UI“ in Accessibility and Screen safe area is lower than high to get easily hit the back button in small fingers (100% bigger for big fingers)
I firstly report this issue on June 4th, but this issue was created on June 17th, this issue confirmed is later than me.
