Fairphone 6 navigation bar will not invert

Title, basically. I just decided to try out /e/ on my new FP6, and when I go to System->Buttons->Invert Layout, flipping the toggle does nothing at all.

Anyone else with a FP6 having this problem? Is it fixable, or do I just have to wait for an update?

I have the same issue on FP6, /e/OS 3.0.2-a15-20250627504414

Haven’t found a way around it, unfortunately

I can confirm this as well with a FP6 and /e/OS 3.0.2-a15-20250627504414-official-FP6
On my older FP4 with /e/OS 3.0.2-a14-20250627504416-official-FP4, however, the setting still works correctly.

The setting menu option does affect the sysui_nav_bar_inverse setting, i.e. I get

FP6:/ # settings get secure sysui_nav_bar_inverse
1

resp.

FP6:/ # settings get secure sysui_nav_bar_inverse
0

However, the sysui_nav_bar_inverse setting itself doesn’t seem to have any effect on the FP6.
I’ve not found any workaround so far.

I wanted to file an issue at Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab, but unfortunately my mail address is rejected upon registration there. (But if anyone can create or has an account there, it may be helpful to let the developers know there.)
