I often accidentally long-press a word which opens the copy/share etc popup. There's a bug where the menu can't be closed by tapping somewhere else on the screen if the app is in split-screen mode (eg with YouTube) on my Android 12 phone.

How to get into split screen mode

  1. Open the Recents screen.
  2. Swipe an app into view.
  3. Press the app icon in the app title bar.
  4. Select the Split screen menu option.
  5. Select another app from the Recents screen, or close the Recents screen and run another app.

How to reproduce this bug

  1. Open the Wikipedia App
  2. Go into split screen mode (see previous step)
  3. Add YouTube (or another app) to split screen mode
  4. Open an article
  5. Open the overflow menu

All other items can still be pressed (in split screen mode), but there seems to be an issue with menus, as they can’t be closed anymore. Here’s a video that illustrates it:
