[Q] mx player soft navigation buttons dont auto hide topic

I have been using MX player for quite some time on all my devices. First of all thanks and its a great app but recently I got a new phone {(Xolo 8x 1100), android 4.4} and have been facing an issue with auto hide soft buttons feature of MX player

I read on one of the forums if u check android compatibility mode in MX player settings it resolves this problem I have tried both checking and unchecking it still does not help.

Pls advise what can I do to resolve this issue.

Thanks.
