Any workaround for malfunctioning proximity sensor (XA2)?

Ok, in the release notes for Sailfish X Jolla wrote for XA2-specific issues: "Display blanking is unstable during phonecalls or alarms (due to proximity sensor)." Unfortunately, in my case that means: as soon as I initiate or answer a phone call, the display gets blanked and I can't interact in any way. No obvious way to hang up. Do you experience the same problem? Is there any way to hang up with a dark display? At the moment I can't make use of one of the core functions of a phone: making phone calls ;)

EDIT: CSD tool shows that the sensor itself is working correctly
