So i have actually two bugs to report, but they are very close topic to each other.

  1. bug: Applications shut themselfs down all the time, specially when i have several applications open same time and/or i turn my screen off. (noticed this first time when listened spotify and then turned screen off, spotify did turn off.)

  2. bug: When i try to close android application by clicking android back button few times, it doesnt close the app all the way. When i do this, it leaves that box on "open apps" screen. But, when i do click that, it opens the app again (so its not on anymore but it leaves that box to show that it should be) This same thing happens to all applications in case that i mentioned above.

And no, im not here to complain about these becouse i know that im using software version which is still under heavy developing. Just wanted to inform :)

I don't use the Android support but it sounds like it's just doing what native apps also do, when the system runs out of memory (or when you close the app from inside the app, in this case with the back button), the (oldest) app is killed but the cover remains visible so you don't need to rearrange them all the time.

This is hopefully not by design, because it's killing the whole active covers thing, and thus making the covers practically meaningless. After the app closes automatically, the cover is "dead" placeholder, taking space and to interact with it, you need to click, wait for app to restart and so on... definitely not improvement. Hoping for a fix, or ditching the covers and providing something else, but usable.

I think both are by design. "Dead covers" as a placeholder were mentioned as a feature (cannot remember where) in case an application gets killed in an OOM condition. I'm not sure about Android and the back button, if that's by design too. But it's consistens with the was it works on a real Android device: The back button takes you back to a home screen (which is a mix of icons and widgets not present on Sailfish), while the app cover remains visible in the list of recently used applications - as dead as an Android app can be.
