I googled it and found that this may be what many people were looking for but I don't know why it started to behave like this.
I do find the swiping up from home button gesture useful for me to launch Google search but somehow it stop working. There usually should be a semicircle with 'Google' on top when halfway swiping up but what I get now is a search icon that function as it will launch last used app (if swiping gesture is done in launcher) or will do nothing (when gesture done in any app other than launcher). I did not disable Google Search, reboot didn't help, and clearing cache of Google search didn't help too.
I don't know what I did to get this as a result. Any clue on what's happening? Nexus 7 2013 stock kitkat
solution found
Dolphin browser causing this. Uninstalled it and everything is back to normal

This is really becoming annoying! I click the Home button, then I check the set default and click Launcher Pro. For a couple of uses, the Home button automatically takes me to Launcher Pro. Then, I'll be web browsing or checking email, click Home, and the options pop-up comes up again asking which launcher i want to use. This happens over and over again. I've even tried sing HTC Sense UI and ADW, same problem. Any possible solutions?
(btw, I'm fully rooted w/ NAND unlocked and I'm running Damage Control 3.2.3 and I've tried uninstalling HTC Sense UI as well as a few other bloatware, which helped things become much more stable, unfortunately this problem still pops up. Oh, 1 more thing, launching web links seem to always ask for which browser to use also, even if I check a default, repeatedly. Could this be related?)
Did you search for the answer?
It's the qik update, uninstall it or reset your default home every time you long press the home button and choose a recently open program.
of course I searched, but I couldn't figure out how to do a boolean AND (I finally was able to find + using google and it works nicely. xda would go a long way to include a little tutorial on how to best use forum search on the advanced search page) so my search wasn't fruitful. I uninstalled Qik. It helped the problem. Thanks for the tip!
Quite obvious bug, and a lot of people have had this bug.
For anyone asking what it is: Swipe up from home screen. That's the shortcut for google now, by default. However, after some time, the gesture doesn't work. Aditionally, I've changed the recent key to toggle torch when long-pressed. However, that doesn't work either if the swipe up doesn't work.
Anyone found a fix for this bug? Strangely, this bug has been appearing in both 4.3 v1(15.4.A.0.23) and v2(15.4.A.1.9).
BTW, I posted this in Q&A and it appearing in general. Mods please move. Also, there is no clear delete button.
Still no one able to fix this issue?
Need to file a bug report....
Nexus 6 Android 7.1
I've been having an issue where I will hold the home button down to pull up search, tap on the search bar to bring up the keyboard, and within a few seconds the search bar clears itself and closes the keyboard.
I made a screen recording to show you the issue in action. The first instance I don't type anything, just wait, and it closes itself. The second time I starting typing and it happens again. So basically every time I open search I have to tap the search bar, wait for the keyboard to close, then tap the search bar again, then it works... until i need to search something else.
Here is the screen recording
Here is the logcat of the crash
12-03 10:01:36.449 824 1796 seems to be what it spits out when the keyboard actually closes.
I was just going through the logcat and saw TeslaCoil in there, so I tried another launcher. Magically the issue was remedied. I've encountered several people on both stock Android and custom ROMs that are having the same issue.

You will probably have a lot more success posting this in the Nova Launcher thread.
Saw a post I think that was in here about getting the US S10 rooted with a link to a telegram chat. After everything was said and done my device is rooted. However Im left with out to use of that button at the lower left that opens the recent used apps to switch to or close them. I get vibration and it highlights but that's it. Is that a normal after effect? Or is there a fix that I'm hoping that not a factory reset?
It's a normal effect that you didn't enable Google assistant and there is no use of factory reset
Didn't know that had to do anything with Google assistant when before I rooted it opened the recent apps let me pick an app to go to or close them all. On the navigation bar at the bottom. Not the Bixby button which before I even rooted that was the first thing I changed
Anyone beside me still use the 3 button navigation option? I often find the current apps (right most) button unresponsive, and often the "learn more" button on facebook pages unresponsive. Using gesture navigation works fine but not button navigation. I've tested this with 3 different launchers to verify it is not my Apex launcher I've be using for ages. Anyone else observe this?
I did still use 3-button navigation until my Pixel 6 Pro. I think my wife still uses the 3-button navigation, though.
I *might* have briefly had 3-button navigation enabled on the P6P, and it sounds familiar that I might have seen issues like what you describe with Recents. I didn't notice any problems regarding "learn more" on Facebook. I use Nova Launcher Prime.
Fakebook? People actually use that? I always blacklist all their domains on my DNS servers, pure hostile privacy invading trash.
