epix2 pro black screen

has anybody noticed that with CIQ watchfaces epix2 pro goes black every now and then, and seems to go black also when returning from e.g. messages/notification and the timeout occures?
with a 5 button watch I can replicate the problem by pressing the light button, on/off a couple of times a little bit slower so that the flashlight will not activate. It's like the time just before the light comes on. Screen goes blank, don't know if it is framework related, a new version just arrived on my watch...

7.6% at most... Seems that actually the watch works... but it's just when a message is coming and exiting, then screen goes blank and when pressing Menu for a while, selecting watchfaces - and waiting for screen or light (8s or 15s) go off, then also the screen goes blank. It doesn't happen with native watchfaces... immediatelly when you raise your hand, it works again or touch the screen or something... and it is AOD set to always on

Ok! I think I found a pattern and seems like a framework bug.
It happens on all third party CIQ watchfaces with full AOD, I mean those ones with close to 10% of pixels in always on display.
To replicate this problem is to
1. download for instance Futura https://apps.garmin.com/apps/2e1fcbdd-dcf0-4f92-8a7e-56ce90b47f22
2. pressing long press menu->watchfaces
3. if you select here this watchface, without exiting the menu or leave the menu with apply, then if you take a pause until watch should go to AOD mode, it goes blank. This does not happen with native watchfaces.
4. Same happens sometimes with messages when they exit from the screen or more or less randomly, it goes black.

Seems that the built in menu or something is calculated into those <10% pixels. Heat map 24h clearly gives me no burnt in pixels and in a watchface I tested, the maximum was 7.6% at the most.
