How did you install the app?

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Click on the + icon to compose a new message
2. Select a random contact and wait for conversation screen to pop up
3. Minimize the app by going to the device's homescreen
4. Long press the Fossify Messages app icon and select the "New Conversation" quick action
5. Select a different contact from that of step 2 and wait for the conversation screen to pop up
6. Press the back button (or use your device's back navigation gesture to go to the previous page) once to return to the "New Conversation" screen
   a. Hit back again and you'll return to the conversation with the randomly selected contact from step 2
   b. Hit back again and you'll return to the "New Conversation" screen from step 2
   c. Hit back again and you'll return to the Fossify Messages main screen
7. Notice that you have to hit the back button (or back navigation gesture) four times before reaching the Fossify Messages main screen that shows all conversations in a list

Expected behavior

When you hit back (or use back navigation gesture) from inside a conversation thread, the user should be directed straight to the Fossify Messages main screen (i.e., the list of all conversations with all contacts).

Actual behavior

The user has to pop every screen from the Navigation Stack before reaching the main screen.

This is related to any activity in the app which spawns a new screen (for example opening a message from notifications, then exiting to the phone's home screen). The next time the app opens it will still be on the previously opened message. Hitting back doesn't take you to the app's main screen, but rather goes back through previously performed actions.

Example:

• Open a message from notifications or the app's main screen, then go back to the phone's home screen
• Open another message without going through the app's main screen (from a notification or the app's icon submenu)
• Hit back
• You go back to the first message thread instead of the app's main menu

This stacks for many threads opened this way.
I'm on v 1.0.1 from F-Droid

I hope this gets fixed, two years after being reported. It's essential. It's very annoying exiting the app when pressing the "back" button, instead of returning to the message list, when opening a message from the notification.
Have a happy new year! 😉🥳🎇🎉
