Observation on 1.6.8
On my Android Lollipop tablet (5.01), after playing any program (live or recorded), when the app returns to the last selected menu, the “select menu” icon does not appear. The entire blue menu title bar (which shows “Recording” or “Live TV”, or the program name and episode info) stays white.
The only option at this point is to exit the app entirely and re-start the app.
