Can you please tell me as many info as possible so I can see what's going on?
- What version are you on? (PC, MacOS, Android)
- Are you using an emulator?
- What language are you on?
- What do you mean by "half the screen"? Are the buttons gone, greyed-out, or the UI just won't respond? In what screen is it happening?

It's the first time I hear about this error, so my first hunch is that perhaps is something on your end. Let me know <3

I'm playing on the newest Android (Pixel 8 Pro). And not using an emulator, just a pure Android installed app. I'm using English as my app language, and everything looks like it should, but the game doesn't register that I'm clicking anything on the right half of the screen in general, it doesnt matter if its in game or in the settings (Edit: now that I look at it again, I can't click from the start of "Journey" to the rest of the screen to the right, so a little bit more than half. This is just how much screen is "blocked" from clicking by something.) I can kind of go around it by first holding my thumb on the left side and sliding it into the right side; doing so lets me click stuff there and load saves that are on that side, but only using that method, nothing else works other than a full reinstall. I was thinking it could be something attached to a feature that some games have, like the "back" function on the right/left side of the screen instead of a small, hard-to-click button, but I couldn't find a setting like that anywhere, so I ruled it out. It's also my first time seeing that happen, so it's a really weird and unique bug. Hopefully my explanation is good enough to get the problem across. Any help would be appreciated, as it's kind of annoying to deal with; I usually click on the left side to progress the dialogue.

I can't exactly point what is happening. I've never encountered a case like this.
But I suspect it may be an Android IME/keyboard resize/inset bug causing Ren'Py's touch-coordinate area to become wrong.

In English: It might have something to do with your keyboard. Does something change if you rotate your phone 180?
And, do you perhaps have any accessibility setting on your phone that might affect it?

That's my only clue. I'm not sure what else it might be.

When I rotate the phone, the game doesn't follow with me, it's stuck in one way. But when I was playing yesterday a few hours after my comment I noticed that when I went to the homepage on my phone and came back to the game without closing it, the ability to click came back for whatever reason, I forgot to update after the discovery but I don't know how it can even be fixed. Hopefully when the next update drops it will fix itself
