WinRT inconsistency(?) with navigation bar behaviour

Hi,
I found an interesting behaviour of the WinRT (UWP) app's naviagtion bar on the Lumia 550 (other phones may be similar):
1) If I start the app from the app list, the navigation bar becomes transparent and auto-hides after a while. It can be "wiped in" again (being still transparent), and it auto-hides again (either touching the screen somehwere else or a timeout, I don't remember exactly) - just as intended.
2) If I start the app from inside the store app, the navigation bar stays on screen, and is not transparent. You can "wipe" it out though to get the desired fullscreen. Not a big issue, but interesting behaviour nevertheless.
A simple google search did not reveal any clear answer as to whether the navigation bar behaviour can be influenced programmatically or not. Does anybody know what's up with this?
