AutoTools Dialog List functionality fatally lost upon tapping the Android Home or Recent button
When a task puts an AutoTools Dialog List on screen, and subsequently we tap the Android Home or Recent button, then :::
[1:] not only the AutoTools List instance disappears unrecoverably, since it won't figure in the Android "Recent" scroller,
but also [2:] attempting to run the same task again will fail at putting the expected Dialog List onto screen, unless AutoTools is Force Stopped first (*>) [or the device rebooted],
and moreover [3:] the same failure then also applies to whichever other task would need to generate any other AutoTools List dialog.

The following specific task, named "Alexa Command Set", can be loaded on a Tasker/AutoTools-equipped Android for merely demonstrating the above problem (don't bother triggering either of the List options, which may fail) ::: (**>)
This "Alexa" example probably serves demonstration purposes even better by setting its AutoTools Dialog List Time-out to Never.

I ran into this problem on my Android 8.1 Huawei Y7 phone using Tasker 5.8.5 and AutoTools 2.2.3.

(<*) [2:] For as far as my experimentation went I could unfortunately not Force Stop AutoTools programmatically as a work-around, by using Kill App AutoTools [root off] . The Kill statement executes as if successful, but nonetheless the AutoTools App Info screen still shows an active Force Stop button, which of course means AutoTools has NOT been stopped, and subsequently any further List Dialog remains a failure.
