Bubble Clear Issue

I just tried using the bubble action. When I close the bubble it automatically reopens MacroDroid no matter the previous activity I was doing

Is that a way to prevent this?

Can you show us your macro?

This is my screen recording. I start it using Panels but it does the same when running via MacroDroid test. The bubble pops up. I drag it away and then MacroDroid comes up (unless I force killed it beforehand)

Can you try displaying a floating text (doesn't have to be anything fancy) at the same time?

Ok do you want another screen recording of it!!
Not sure what you mean by authorization! If MacroDroid is closed it does not kick it open!

Ok ... If I just have the floating text it shows ok and can be discarded ok.
If I display the floating text before the bubble ... The bubble is displayed first and the floating text only shows after the bubble is cleared.
If I add a wait between the two it gets messy!! If I am inside MacroDroid it behaves very differently!!!

I just tried it on my tablet and I have the same problem.

After checking I can't solve the problem either, however I now have this recurring message

Edit:

This doesn't come from the device settings because Tasker doesn't have this problem and I don't even give it adb authorization

So I guess we both have the problem ... Hopefully the owner can help!!

This isn't related to the trigger/action at all, you are having this popup likely due to a logcat/clipboard trigger. (the trigger is reloading due to my explanation below)

I kind of figured out the problem. When you remove the bubble, it has the same effect as swiping the app from recents: killing the "service task of MacroDroid.

Interestingly it seems to log that twice in a row.
Honestly I don't know what service task refers to exactly, but @MacroDroidDev does. My guess is that it's what runs every macro, and when you restart it it reloads every macro - that's why you get the popup.
The likely reason you haven't seen this popup before is because it's used in a macro with a logcat/clipboard trigger and when MacroDroid starts, to get that popup you need to have the app in foreground - at least from my testing that's what I observed.

I haven't seen this before because I only started trying it out recently! As stated I do not get the problem if I force close the app - hence force closing also has a very different behaviour from my visibility!

I think I have found the secret formula of magic flags to make this work correctly, so hopefully this should be fixed in the June (v5.45) update.
