Only the first Popup Message in a macro is displayed

On my new Samsung S21FE with Android 12, I have a simple macro:

Popup Message 1
Popup Message 2
Popup Message 3

When I test it via Test Actions or Test Macro it works fine, but when I run it via a Shortcut or Widget only the first Popup is displayed. The System Log states that all three Popups were displayed, but that's not correct.

If I disable the first Popup, only the second is displayed etc.

I've experimented with changing the screen positions, durations and overwriting previous popups, but it makes no difference.

On Android 8 it works fine.

Is this a bug? Or something to do with my phone / version of Android?

FYI: works to show all three popups in sequence, on an Android 11 phone, too. Perhaps a bug with 12

Try to add a delay (3 to 5 seconds) after each Popup message

@Andydroid There are restrictions around background apps displaying custom popup messages in the latest Android version so it has to do some horrible hack to display an invisible foreground activity in order to display it.

I can't recreate the problem on a couple of devices I've tried but there can be weird timing issues or other complexities depending on what else you do. A small wait before next between each popup as suggested above should work if you want to use a custom popup.

I think & believe somehow that the windows animation, transition animation & animator duration timings might be playing some role. What I suggest is... you can activate the developer option(if not activated) and you will find 3 settings
1. Windows animation
2. Transition animation
3. Animator duration
(all by default is configured to 1x)
-->Reduced all to .5x
I hope it should work for you, because for the same issue it solved for me..
⚠️Not sure for your case but you can give it a try
