Cannot close shortcuts after running a script

Cannot close shortcuts. This forces me to restart the phone. This is a basic feature that should work on a $2200 phone

The shortcut already has a “Stop this shortcut” action at the end of the flow. The only way to close shortcuts when the home indicator disappears post-script is by restarting, or by opening the shortcut flow and then swiping up. Shortcuts should not be affecting the base OS navigation functionality in any way. This is for a basic watermarking script
