Issue: The buttons on the "the game has crashed" screen don't respond to taps.

Repro:

  1. Crash the game (see issue Crash when respawning while in a starport transit animation #568 for an easy way)
  2. Try to tap the buttons

I should note that when the game says it has crashed on Android, it really was about to crash! The message displayed is for debugging but, as far as I recall, nothing else should be running after a fatal exception occurs. It might be worth blacking-out the screen before showing the text though, so that players aren't confused by the game's unresponsiveness.

Whilst the text says crashed, what it really means is that a fatal uncaught exception has occurred. The game catches this at the base of the game loop though, preventing an actual crash from occuring and showing that message instead. Since things have failed so irrecoverably at this point, there's not much of the game left running to respond to inputs.
