Android - Snackbar not visible in fragment/coordinator layout

Question

I am attempting to display a Snackbar but is not visible within the fragment, it can find the coordinator layout as evidenced by the FAB moving up (see screenshots below), but it is seemingly displaying behind the view.

Basically what happens is when a task is added, a message is sent back in the bundle to the dashboard fragment at which point it would be displayed.

Keep in mind that snackbar messages are displayed in this same manner throughout the application without issue.

Code for sending snackbar message to dashboard

binding.taskViewModel?.task?.value?.let {
    val bundle = Bundle()
    bundle.putParcelable("message", SnackbarMessage(R.string.new_task_save, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT))

    if (binding.taskViewModel?.task?.value?.id == null || binding.taskViewModel?.task?.value?.id == 0) {
        binding.taskViewModel?.create(it)
        navigation.navigate(R.id.action_addTaskFragment_to_action_tasks, bundle)
    } else {
        binding.taskViewModel?.update(it)
        navigation.navigate(R.id.action_editTaskFragment_to_action_tasks, bundle)
    }
}

Code for displaying snackbar (onResume)

arguments?.getParcelable<SnackbarMessage>("message")?.let {
    showSnackbar(task_coordinator_layout, it.resourceId, it.duration)
    arguments?.remove("message")
}

Extension Function which is called to display the snackbar

fun Fragment.showSnackbar(view: CoordinatorLayout?, @StringRes resId: Int, 
@Snackbar.Duration duration: Int) {
    view?.let {
        Snackbar.make(it, it.resources.getString(resId), duration).show()
    }
}

Thoughts?

I incrementally made changes, adding margins to the recycler view (they should probably be present regardless), it had no effect. The only change that had any effect was ensuring that the root view was the Coordinator Layout.

After doing this everything worked as expected. I wish I knew the true reason why, but quite frankly I've burnt far too much time trying to get this fixed. In a nutshell the fix was removing the layout(databinding) from this view, which is fine for this view, as the databinding had no real use here.
