The 0.21.9 version is disponible. You can try it.

So should I compile it myself to fix the issue?

No, try the apk file in #6841 and check if the bug still persists.

That fixes the bug. But it is a debug version, and doesn't use the data from my currently installed NP app

You can export the data in the "normal" version and import it back into the debug version.
