I've been unable to reproduce this by just leaving the article open and leaving/returning to the app. Of the approximately 50 times I've tried, I am not seeing it except perhaps in the relation to a device system message or dialog. For example, on the iPad, I was able to reproduce it once when I got a low battery warning. I will keep trying and if I find good steps I can write up a more specific bug.

Thanks @ABorbaWMF I'm going to put this back in backlog. If we get other reports or repro cases, we can put back into 6.2.1 or 6.3
