Android app lose game

Hey. I was just playing a classical length game using the Android app - these typically last over half an hour. I switched to another app for a minute and forfeited the game because i was said to have left the game. This is not reasonable or useful behaviour IMHO.
I'd suggest that if you want to forfeit games because of disconnection, it would make sense to take account of the length of the game.
If I am playing on my laptop I can browse to other windows and applications without losing the game.
Just lost another game because i had to answer a message rather than wait half an hour for my game to end. White disconnected. No he did not. I'll see if playing in a mobile browser gives a better experience than the app.
