I have encountered the following issue on iPadOS. Has anyone experienced this issue or reported it before?
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable Windowed Apps mode in Settings.
- Launch the Settings app and another app (App X), and display both in windowed mode.
- Use the Settings app to completely cover App X (App X becomes inactive at this point).
- From the Settings app, enable Full Screen Apps mode.
- Bring App X to the foreground.
Expected Result
App X becomes active when brought to the foreground.
Actual Result
Even after bringing App X to the foreground, it immediately becomes inactive.
The issue persists even if App X is restarted.
To resolve the issue, it is necessary to either restart the iPad or switch back to Windowed Apps mode.

Additional Information
According to the console logs, App X appears to remain inactive because the deactivation reason "sceneOverlap" persists.
