I have a theory. This is one of the newer 'no button' iPhones, correct?
My guess is that the user interface for Subsurface makes iOS think that
you are using gestures and it sends nonsensical touch and button
signals to the app. I don't have such an iPhone. I tried to replicate
your observations with my iPad, which sadly is using this horrible,
horrible gesture nonsense - as much as I try to avoid it (I so wich
there was an iPad with the fast processor / GPU combination but a
physical home button - but I digress) and can't, but maybe there the
positions / sizes of the UI elements are different enough from your
phone that things just don't happen the same way...

Again, completely random theory and could be way off. But I simply
cannot explain what you are seeing.
