Bug Description

OAT 10 bqq M10 tablet

Primary app should resize once a secondary app is put in sidestage mode, currently it overlays obscuring valuable information, and blocks a lot of usable portions of apps, making the primary use of side-stage hard to use.

Put a app in side stage, one you potentially want to aquire information from.

What happens:
- App overlays the primary app, obscuring main interactive elements of many apps, ie "login", search, hamburger menu, checkmark for sharing picture from gallery, ect.
- user must rehide side stage to fully use primary app

What should happen
- primary app resizes to the screen space that is avaible making it fully usable side by side
- proper "convergance" will allow elements of both stages to resize and still both be usable at the same time

The same in OTA 10.1.

I want to use the calculator app in the side-stage but it isn't comfortable because of this bug.

Still present in new versions, right side functionality of apps is blocked when using side stage and both apps should resize so you can use both apps fully at the same time
