BackHandler seems to not intercept system back presses on AppCompatActivity restart in my case (in nested NavHost composables). Is it a known issue? 🤔

Not that I've heard so far. Please file an issue on the tracker with a repro case if you can isolate it

Do you still see this issue after upgrading to Activity Compose 1.3.0-alpha04? There was a fix to BackHandler in today's release. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/activity#1.3.0-alpha04

@Ian Lake Unfortunately, it’s still an issue in the newest version. 😕 The only workaround for me is to invalidate navigation on lifecycle restart (recreate back stack and navigate to current route using back stack entries). Then it works, but it’s quite ugly.

Thanks for confirming, we'll take a look
