If you are using quick Switch be prepared to have issues after updating. I updated and could not use any gestures other than back. With button navigation the home button worked but not the recent apps menu. Once I removed the quick switch module everything started to work again. By the way I was probably using an older version of quick switch. However, I've looked through the changelog and there doesn't seem to be anything related to 12L in there.

So I installed the IE / PIE toggle app. (IEToggle). Having problems w/ PIE though.
When I enable PIE, tapping and holding does not bring up the context menu like it's supposed to. Instead, tapping and holding does nothing. Also, if I slide the keyboard open while PIE is open, PIE either crashes or closes (like when you tap its "X" in the quick menu).
Anyone have any remedies?
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?
I have Samsung Galaxy S5 Model 900T (klte)
Lineage OS 14.1 November 23, 2017
API Level Guava (7)
Security Patch Level Novembefr 6, 2017
Baseband Version: G900TUCU1GQC2
Kernel Version 3.4.113-lineageos-g746d931
Build Number: lineage_klte-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F-c26202ea25
The phone randomly switches to the split screen mode, usually when I am opening apps or using them (eg. ES File Explorer, Blue Mail, Google Search, Cloud Library, IHeart Radio app). I hear a short vibration, then the phone switches into split screen mode.
I have tried an app called MultiWindow Toggle but this does not solve the problem.
I have tried to switch the function of the short press of the recent button to no action and the long press of the recent button to recent apps switcher, but this makes the phone switch to the recent apps switcher.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue, and if the latter, is it the os or some of the apps? Does any one have any guidance for how to solve this issue? It is very intrusive, and I really like the Lineage OS.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Sounds like a Hardware issue. Can you deactivate the button and activate software nav bar?

I managed to modify the file named build.prop using some instructions I found online. It did activate the software nav bar. I expected it to disable the hardware buttons, but it did not. I still had the same problem.
I had to go into the settings for lineage and set the "recents" button to do nothing on short press and nothing on long press. The leftmost button on the nav bar now does nothing as well. The phone still vibrates a short blast randomly, but does not switch. The right most button on the software nav bar the one with the rectangle face, that one activates the task switcher now. The rightmost hardware button still acts as a "back" button, I want that function so I will leave it as is. I can live with that. I don't know a way to activate the split screen in this configuration, but I can live with that as well. Both the hardware home button and the center button on the software nav bar do the same thing now. I would like to be able to program the nav bar to do what I want it to do, is there a way to do that. If not, I can live with this.
Thanks for your help.
Lately, I notice that sometimes the back button using the Android Pie navigation gestures comes to the right.
This cannot be fixed until I reboot the phone.
Is this a feature I'm accidentally triggering or is it a bug
I don't know how to get it back. I use Nova Launcher.
I reset the phone fresh and that fixed it. I guess I accidentally deleted some Motorola thing that controlled the recent apps.
how did you 'reset'? i got same problem, whenever i use a new launcher, recents button stop working.
