Sidebar / Navigation Drawer menu items become unclickable while a download is running

Checklist

• I'm reporting a bug unrelated to a specific site.
• I've verified that I'm running the latest version of yt-dlp.
• I've verified that I'm running the latest stable version of Seal or any later preview versions.
• I've read the Contributing guidelines and Code Of Conduct.
• I've checked that the site i'm trying to download from is in the Supported Sites list from yt-dlp
• I understand that the issue will be (ignored/closed) if I intentionally remove or skip any mandatory field.

Describe the bug

When a video download is actively in progress (e.g. Downloading at 14% or 20%), opening the side navigation drawer menu and clicking on any item (such as "More Tools", "Settings", or "Troubleshooting") does not perform any action. The UI appears frozen or fails to route to the selected drawer destination while a download task is active in the background.

The sidebar buttons only become responsive again if the app is force-closed and cleared from the Recent Apps list, or after the active download is fully completed/paused.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Seal Plus and paste any video URL to start a download.
2. While the video is actively downloading (e.g., status shows "Downloading..."), tap the top-left hamburger menu to open the side drawer.
3. Tap on any menu item in the drawer (e.g., "More Tools", "Settings", or "Downloads").
4. Observe that the app does not navigate to the selected page or react to touches on the menu items.
5. Clear the app from Recent Apps and re-open it; menu items become clickable again.

Error reports

No visual error message or app crash occurs; the sidebar interaction silently fails/freezes during active download states.

Thanks for the detailed report, Anurag! 🙏

I tested this on my end but couldn't reproduce the issue.
This might be related to a stale app state from a previous version.

Please try these steps before confirming the bug:

1. Go to Settings → Apps → Sealplus
   → tap "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache"

2. Uninstall the app completely

3. Install v3.0.0 fresh from the latest release:
   https://github.com/MaheshTechnicals/Sealplus/releases/latest

4. Start a download and immediately test the Navigation Drawer

If the bug still persists after a fresh install on your
iQOO Neo 7 Pro (Android 16 / Funtouch OS), please let me
know — I'll investigate further as it may be a Funtouch OS /
Android 16 specific issue with Compose navigation during
active background download states.

Hi @MaheshTechnicals , Tried the new test build but still facing the same issue.
But I have one new founding that this issue only occurs when downloading a video with fomat selection option as "Preset" with "Custom"it doesn't occur.
