It didn’t skip to the offer, but went away entirely. This was the other day, shortly before the new update, so maybe it won’t happen anymore. Apologies for the delay posting, but needed to upload the video. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Unclear **Steps to make it happen again** Unclear ---

This has happened twice since this report. Once today and once a few days ago. Today, I pressed X to skip to accepting/rejecting the offer, and it just vanished. Think it was a genie, that time. Can’t remember exactly what happened the previous time.
