Description vitorvlv 2021-04-30 14:08:40 UTC

Here are a couple examples showing what I mean:

After I close the activity with anki in it, i can't stop any other activities, neither go back into a stopped activity. The issue is not because it syncs before closing, I've already tested with syncing disabled and the same behavior happens.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Anki open in an activity 
2. Stop the activity
3. Try to go into the stopped activity or stop any other activities.

OBSERVED RESULT
You can't go into stopped activities anymore or stop any other activities.

EXPECTED RESULT
The ability to stop activities or go back into stopped activities after they were stopped.

Stopping activities is no longer supported, so this does no longer apply.
