use of whisperfish on XA2-ultra (3.0.0.8) - black-screen during calls (in- and outgoing)

Hi, anybody, this is my first question here, so please be patient and any advise/tip is very welcome! :) I am using sailfish 3.0.0.8 on XA2-ultra.
When Whisperfish is running, the screen gets inavailable while calling / getting a call. Pressing the power-button to wake up the screen does not work -nor anything else. Pressing Power just leads to a short blink (<1sec) and the display gets black again.
This is very annoying as calls cannot become ended (especially calling a mailbox or check who is calling). Does somebody has an idea on how to solve this issue?
I am very keen to use signal...
Edit_20190108: I am using whisperfish 0.5.1
Got the information that proximity sensor probably is responsible. proximity sensor issues
Edit_20190116: I re-tested and now there is no flickering (on / off of proximity sensor) anymore: the sensor just does not work (=screen always "on"). So my reported test results regarding having whisperfish "on" or "off" seem to be a coincidence: NOW there is no difference whether whisperfish is running or not. Issue is answered and now it is assumed that already reported proximity-sensor-issue is the source here.
Dupe of https://together.jolla.com/question/193485/any-workaround-for-malfunctioning-proximity-sensor-xa2/ ?
