am testing my app for process death
`Don't keep activities` is turned on and am using `Navigation Component`
when I navigate to dialog composable that is registered inside `NavGraph` with `dialog() {}` it’s not on top after I leave app and come back
how can I make it be on top after process death?
is there a way for `Navigation Component` to do that or I need to keep track of that and navigate to  `dialog` destination after app is restored?

You should file a bug if you can reproduce it in a sample app; Navigation certainly recreates your dialog after process death and recreation, same as with any other destination.

thanks Ian, I will recreate bug and file it

<@U01FGDYKQ1E> please post here link to that bug if you already filed it. I encountered same problem a few days ago but I’ve been too busy to investigate more. <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1636538825234000>

I have project for reproduction and bug is reproducable

<@U0B885E4V> there you go <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/207485310>

You can't use `AlertDialog` inside a `dialog` destination, that doesn't make any sense at all. A `dialog` destination puts the content of your composable in its own managed `Dialog` instance

The `dialog` documentation specifically points this out and specifically points out that you shouldn't use a `dialog` destination for `AlertDialog` (instead, just show that `AlertDialog` directly): <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/navigation/compose/package-summary#(androidx.navigation.NavGraphBuilder).dialog(kotlin.String,kotlin.collections.List,kotlin.collections.List,androidx.compose.ui.window.DialogProperties,kotlin.Function1)|https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/navigation/compose/package-summary#(androidx.navigation.NavGra[…]roperties,kotlin.Function1)>

I suspect if you just have your `TextButton` directly in the `dialog` destination, you'll find that you just get the single `dialog` managed `Dialog` with your content

I used just `TextButton` but it still works the same, it’s not on the top when I come back from process death
