@pedro While I agree this should’ve been a priority earlier on, this has been addressed many times on this forum since June:
My solution, similar to @nownotlater1 has suggested, is to download a different dialer app. I had used Fossify at a point in time, but have since given in to using Google’s phone app, becuase it just is that much better.
Once Mudita fixes this flaw, I will go back to using the built in dialer.
