Android app goes to background on any action if using RTL (Right to left)

[Joe]

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Android 6.0.1

Spotify 5.7.0.781armV7

If RTL (Right to Left) is enabled either from developer options or because of the system language (Hebrew, Urdu etc.) the spotify app will go to the background as soon as anything is touched.

Steps to reproduce:

Select Force RTL from developer options OR change system language to a RTL language then tap anything in the app. The app will go to background.

Workaround:

Disable RTL in developer options or change system language to a non-RTL language such as English.
