I have the following issue, that Nova (latest stable) on Pixel 3a seems to crash when hitting the home gesture by swiping up. This doesnt happen, if you change from gesture to menu bar and hit the home button, then it works fine. Switching to gesture again, and it crashes when swiping up.
Ive noticed, that if you go to Nova settings and change the swipe up home gesture to something else, then swipe up, it works 1 time correctly, then after 1 usage it crashes until you change the gesture to something else, for example open search, swipe up, works fine, swipe up again, crashes.

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

Dolphin browser causing this. Uninstalled it and everything is back to normal
I noticed that certain apps do not let me use the menu key/button. When i hold down the recents key for the menu on things like google search, drive or nova launcher, nothing happens. I feel it vibrate like it registered, but no menu pops up. I tried uninstalling exposed, using gravity box to add a nav bar, lmt/pie launcher, and still no menu commands work.
there are workarounds to access the menu on all of these, but it's just kind of annoying. Like these apps are on a blacklist somewhere saying to ignore the menu input.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case with them as well? I noticed this on stock and on iron rom. i have the 8.4.
thanks!!!!
I have a Moto G 5G Plus. Does anyone know how to use the split screen functionality to view 2 apps side-by-side? I’m running the Nova Launcher and can’t work out how to do it.
You can use Motorola gestic to do so.
Activate it under Motorola Actions - gestures
Put on finger on the leftern-middle side of the screen and Swipe from left to the right and back to the left.
I'm using Smart Launcher and I've got problems using split screen as well.
Thanks for your reply. I've enabled that option but can't get it to work. For example, if I swipe from the left in Google Maps I see a "<" appear on the left centre of the screen. It disappears again as I swipe back from the right but the screen does not split. I've tried it in the Gmail and PocketCasts apps and I get the same thing.
Swipe up and hold until vibrate toget to the screen where you can switch apps.
Press and hold the app icon at the top of the card.
There you should find the option.

Hi,
I've configured my S4 to use full screen gestures instead of navigation buttons. This used to work fine.
Recently I noticed that the gestures not always work. When an app is in full screen mode, the first time I try such a gesture, the notification bar becomes visible for a short time, and usually the app responds to the gesture. When I do it again the gesture is acted upon by the system as intended.
Does anyone recognize this behaviour? Did I miss a new setting?

I'll have to check. I know mine does this in-game, but that's expected. I'll check in other apps.

So mine is the same way, when in a full screen app the first swipe only shows the bar, then the second swipe does the action. My guess is it's so you don't accidentally close a full screen app? Not sure. I think mine has done this since I switched to gestures.
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.
