Comment (by antoniou79):

 The issue was reproduced consisently on a Huawei (Android 10) tablet
 device, too.

 It also seems to be triggered when a tooltip is visible (because the mouse
 cursor hovers over a control that has a tooltip) in the Grid View; the
 other conditions must also be met.

 More importantly, I found a way to replicate this issue on a Windows
 desktop PC, (so it's not quite Android specific, albeit it is more likely
 to get it there)

 **The steps to reproduce on Windows PC:**
 - Launch ScummVM in windowed mode
 - Switch to List view (if not already there)
 - Click on the Maximize button of the ScummVM window (still not full
 screen) and make sure that ScummVM uses the high resolution display layout
 (this should be the case for most modern PCs I think). If it's not on high
 resolution layout, use Global Options -> GUI -> GUI Scale dropdown for a
 setting that will result in the high resolution layout for ScummVM, while
 maximized.
 - Click on the Restore button of the ScummVM window.
 - Resize the ScummVM window to low(er) dimensions until ScummVM switches
 to low resolution display layout.
 - Click on Maximize button again (ScummVM should now switch to high
 resolution)
 - Change to Grid View.
 - Move the mouse cursor over a game, click once, and keep the cursor there
 (do not move it).
 - Use the keyboard key combo Win+Down Arrow, which should trigger the
 Restore Window Size function, without having to move the mouse.

 The above should trigger the reported issue on ScummVM desktop. On mine, I
 get a black screen for ScummVM with only the cursor showing. Maximizing
 the window once, keep the screen black. Restoring the window after that
 may bring back the normal ScummVM display.

 Note: I am not able to trigger the issue on the desktop for the "tooltip
 showing in Grid view" case, because when trying the key combo Win+Down
 Arrow in the final step above, the tooltip goes away.
