Are there any circumstances when Locus should turn the screen on?  I was recording a track, but NOT navigating.

As of 3.54.3 (or perhaps since the previous version - first started a week ago), if I turn off my screen by pressing the power button on my phone, if Locus was the foreground app when I turned it off, the screen will turn back on by itself after a few seconds.  (And keeps repeating this if I turn the screen off again).


"Screen on/off control" is Disabled

"Always screen on" is Disabled.  If I turn it on, it doesn't change the automatic turning on of the screen, except then it will stay on forever.

"Unlock the screen" is currently on but I have tried it both ways and it doesn't seem to matter.

I just tried to reproduce it here at home and it's not happening.
I was getting error notifications on my outings about Locus not being able to download offline elevation data (since I am offline at those times).    Is it possible if I turn on airplane mode and go somewhere Locus hasn't downloaded the elevation data, it uses an error notification mechanism that could turn on the screen?  I am unable to delete this error notification from the Notifications area by hitting the trash can - it just stays there.

Hi, big locus maps fan here.
I'm using Locus Maps Pro and today when it started it told me it had upgraded, so I am on version 3.53.0.
But suddenly I can't view a kmz map overlay that I have been using for years.
I could possibly try re-creating this one, but I have dozens of others from over the years so I hope they will all keep working.  (I tried a couple other ones, and they do still work.  So I tried re-downloading this one to my phone but it didn't help).

When I try to import it, it still says "Can't find any importable points or tracks in the file(s)" (which is normal, since there are no tracks or points), and "Do you want to load and display content on the map?" 
I click yes, and don't get an error message, but it doesn't show up.
I click on Active Items to see if visibility is just toggled off, but it says "No items are active"

I would be happy to upload this kmz to this forum but it is 7.7 MB and there is a limit of 2 MB, so here it is:
