The issue with blank context menu buttons and missing Smart Background Removal in Story Editor (Photo Mode) persists in the latest stable (v12.6.0) and beta (v12.6.1) versions.
Technical findings from the logs:
1. UI Rendering Bug:
- Logs from StoryEditActivity consistently show EGL_BAD_SURFACE and OpenGL context initialization failures when handling static photos.
- While assets (ic_delete, ic_rotate, etc.) are successfully loaded, the rendering engine fails to draw them over the photo layer, resulting in empty button shapes.
- Note: Video Mode works perfectly, likely using a different rendering pipeline that remains stable on Kirin 980 (Mali-G76).
2. Smart Background Removal:
- The feature is completely missing for photo overlays.
- Logs indicate FEATURE_NOT_AVAILABLE and MODEL_NOT_READY errors during machine learning module initialization.
- This suggests a compatibility gap between current ML segmentation libraries and API Level 29 (Android 10) on Huawei devices.
Request to developers:
Please consider implementing a fallback rendering path or a specific quirk for Mali-G76/Android 10 devices to ensure stable EGL surface initialization in Photo Mode.
