Status Bar Disappearing - how to restore (temporarily)

On global version:

I know this is a known issue, but from playing around it looks like it is triggered by long pressing certain app icons in the home screens.

Holding down the clock widget briefly (until the trash icon appears at the top) will restore the status bar.

For example, if you have the status bar showing, long pressing the settings icon will do nothing, but long pressing Facebook or Instagram will make it go away. Long pressing Youtube does nothing, but long pressing the built in calculator app makes it go away. So the issue is not limited to 3rd party apps.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can apply some logic to this behavior.

I asked to Nubia for a solution to this problem like 1 week ago, and they said me nothing about it.
Congrats man, seems you solved a problem! :good:

Regarding the icons when you install a new application, I have noticed that if you change the settings of the grid in the launcher, you find them, then you can remove them and when you add it, it will not tell you that it is already added, in case that it has happened to them
