I had this on v30 too; it's never displayed right on my 2019 shield pro since i bought it. theres another theme that does it too but cant remember which one. I'm currently using the arclight theme iirc (blue theme) which doesnt have the problem although my eyes much prefer the mythbuntu theme. i cant tell if this is a problem with 2 specific themes on certain hardware (colour pallette?) or a build-specific issue so not sure how to bug it properly.
A lot of the themes are not being maintained. I recommend Steppes, it 
has been kept up to date with the latest changes.
> 2) the shield has a built in screensaver after X period - takes you to the picture-album-of-the-day with clock on it. Lets say you pause a mythtv recording, leave it long enough so screensaver kicks in, and when you return mythtv forgets where you paused and returns to the beginning of the recording. While it's easy to add a bookmark when you pause, if you forget then you end up having to manually seek back to where you paused. v30 didnt do this so specific to the v31 apk.
Do you have the same behavior with pressing the home button on shield to 
get to the android home and then going back into mythfrontend? That 
should be the equivalent from the application point of view, and maybe 
has the same problem.
