Multiple Windows feature always active in v2.12.0

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug. Not a question or feature request.
• The topic is not already reported at Issues. (I've searched it).
• Markor is up to date. See Releases for the latest version. Updates are available from F-Droid and GitHub.
• The bug is still present in the latest development version (git master). (Please download and try the test version of Markor, named Marder. Don't worry; Markor and Marder appear as completely separate applications. You can install both side-by-side, and Markor settings are not touched. In case the issue is resolved there, you don't need to create a bug report. The change will be part of the next Markor update.)

Description

Deactivating the Settings -> General -> Features -> Multiple Windows feature has no effect. The Multiple Windows feature is always on.

Steps to reproduce

1. Deactivate the Settings -> General -> Features -> Multiple Windows feature.
2. Open a file within the Markor app.
3. Switch to Android's Recent Apps screen.
4. Observe that the Markor app is using multiple windows.

I can't reproduce this on master.

I'm on a pixel 7 pro with Android 14

Have you unchecked the multi window option and closed/swiped out everything before try? On 2.12.1-fdroid at least it still is the case

The issue persisted with v2.12.2, on Pixel 3a (Android 12), Galaxy Tab S6 (Android 12), and Moto E4 (Android 7.1.1).
The settings screen shows as a separate entry in recent apps as well. I don't know if it's a regression or not.

Also present for me in 2.12.1 and 2.12.2 on a Pixel 5a running crDroid 9.17 (A13) but does not happen with 2.11.1.

I can confirm the aforementioned findings: This is a regression that was introduced with 2.12.0, and did not exist in 2.11.1.

Have you unchecked the multi window option and closed/swiped out everything before try?

The option was unchecked and the issue started appearing after the app update. Anyhow, I tried re-activating the Multiple Windows feature, closing everything. Then deactivating it again, closing everything. The issue still persists.

Pixel 7a, CalyxOS, Android 14.

merge requests are welcome. the activity multi window vs single window, restarting, rotating and sharing into is not a simple thing to resolve for all cases and in dynamic (non compiletime constant/flag) way.

It's known in latest versions.

@c-s-n could you check if this is resolved on #2307
