Black screen every few app launch/close cycles

Description: Whenever the animation is one that does not return to the origin app icon and the phone uses the generic one where it just fades away, the launcher returns with a black screen for a split second and then goes back to normal.

Steps to reproduce: Reopen an app a couple of times until the issue shows up

Workarounds I tried: I have tried using 3 button navigation however that results in a missing backgroudn while the slide down animation happens every app launch/close cycle

Solutuion proposed: I am aware its quite finicky to woem with different Android versions by different OEMs and I know it will ve almost impossible to fix all of those issues, however I think we can get rid of the black screen artifact for that split second since the issue doesnt happen with othsr launchers like Smar Launcher or Lawnchair

    You might also want to test with the Quick Replies function turned on since I think its what is causing it? Also you could try setting the same clock style maybe that is also a variable. I havent been able to identify why exactly this happens, I noticed that on a fresh install of the most recent version it doesnt happen right away(not sure if you changed something), however after customizing the settings to my liking without restoring from a backup it starts happening and then no matter if i enable or disable anything it doesnt get fixed until I reinstall fresh, so I think enabling the Quick Replies function might be breaking it, but I am not able to test again since that would mess my setup again, however If I notice that the issue starts happening again without the Quick Replies function then I will follow up here confirming its not the quick reply if that is the case
