Save state on exit not working with ES-DE

Hi, I have a rp4 pro using ES-DE frontend.

Let’s take for example duckstation and aerhersx2. I have the save state on exit toggled on, but I always exit using the home button of my rp4 pro since I have es-de set as a default app (so that it takes me there again). But it seems like that messes up with the actual exit of the emulator… is this expected behaviour or not?
