Bug: Drawer tab labels for navigation cues obscure map

Since a couple of months ago, drawer tab labels (the squiggle thingies) have been appearing on top of all turn-by-turn navigation cues whenever they pop on screen. In my setup (north-is-up, automap on, map+2 data fields layout) this results in screens like these pretty much whenever heading anywhere between WSW and SE, with the label obscuring almost all of the route line visible on screen:

 

When this occurs, navigation using the map becomes basically impossible, and the unreliability of the turn-by-turn instructions themselves (like in the second example, I would say I was to take the 2nd exit instead of the 3rd, but that’s just classic OSM for you) is why I want the map in the first place.

In the documentation (https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/articles/360051739854-Karoo-2-Turn-by-Turn-Directions), the example screenshots do not display these labels so I presume these were simply somehow added by mistake. Can we please just get rid of them again?

  I highly support this, they also cover up data fields and are simply unnecessary.

  Of course the real problem is that the current position is so far down the screen in the first place (fine for forward-is-up, less so for north-is-up), but if they can’t address that, can we please at least get rid of these tabs...

  Swipe down to close the cue. Use the Settings-Navigation to enable/disable the cue pop-up. I have mine disabled.

  It’s full-finger glove season so swiping anything is a non-starter for me...

  Sure, the back button works as well, but by the time I realize I need to do something like that because of an unanticipated complex road layout, it’s basically already too late and I have to stop anyway. And before it gets that bad, the name of the road/street is actually the most useful piece of information so often that I’m definitely not turning them off altogether.

  super annoying. the arrow is no longer visible on the display once these drawers pop up. insane. if you cycle offroad, you dont have the time to constantly swipe on the screen. please solve this!
