the initial version of this bug report was created using Bugger 0.9.10+git6

1-4. Just like before
5. Edge swipe to get back to home view
6. Now the app opens correctly on full screen when you tap on it from the home view again

Still annoying, but maybe less annoying than turning your screen off and on again?

Thanks for the hint @avhakola. I have to test this simpler way when having some app to update.

Btw. It was very easy to make a bug report with a Bugger app!

For me it also works, if you instead of 4, 5, and 6 turn the phone to landscape orientation and back.
Still it is annoying.

I can confirm this screen rotation trick is working with SFOS 4.6 on Xperia 10.
