Recent apps gesture/button not working #2673

Open TFackler opened 4 months ago

TFackler commented 4 months ago

We have gotten several reports about the recent apps' gesture/button not working. The app overview does not open. We have investigated the issue, and it seems to be caused by Android itself. It affects all third-party launchers.

We have gotten reports of this happening on Android 12 and 14, specifically on MagicOS and XOS. If you encounter this issue, please check if it appears on other third-party launchers. If it does not, please open a new bug ticket.

Other 3rd-party launcher(s) tested

I'm also facing this issue on an Honor device using MagicOS 8.0 and Android 14, and I also confirmed it affects Smart Launcher.

Before this, I was using a Xiaomi device using MIUI 14.0.9 and Android 13 and it was not affected by this issue. I've also tried on two Motorola phones, one using Android 13 and one using Android 14 and they are NOT affected by the issue.
