They still haven't fixed the task switch button from the three button layout becoming non-functional after four years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/204650736
It's a byproduct of the home and task switch button now being managed by the Pixel Launcher regardless of which launcher you use. The animation delay makes it so the button becomes inactive and won't be made active again until the Pixel Launcher is killed or the phone restarted.
From my perspective, Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.
Try switching to gestures. I haven't had that problem on my Pixel 6A and I only use gestures (imo they are way better and more convenient to use.
Gestures are not better for me and my situation. Please stop suggesting that I work against my better interests.
They are objectively slower and less precise, just to start with.
What? You say that like I say that constantly to you.
I just suggested what works for me. Calm down mate.
Also for me they are objectively faster since I have to move my fingers less. Especially the back gesture which is miles better than the button. I very rarely use the app switcher. It's easier to just swipe to the next app or go to the home screen and open the app again.
You're the second person in this thread to try convincing me to switch.
I use the app switcher constantly. I'm using it now to jump between my Lemmy client and YouTube. It works. It's fast. The back navigation also interferes with productivity apps, many of which still use a drawer. I use those apps constantly as well.
Gesture navigation will never be a proper use case for me.
That's fine. Don't pretend it's objectively better though.
I said it was subjectively better and objectively faster. And it is.
Not everyone will agree faster is better, and that's fine.
It might be faster for you. But it's not for me.
In other words it's subjective. (duh)
The default Android animation transition length is 300 milliseconds. The gesture based navigation uses this delay.
The task switch button, for whatever reason, can interrupt this delay, making it as fast as I can tap, which is a lot faster than 300 milliseconds. In fact, this is what triggers the bug. I had to set the animation scale to 0 on my device just so it can keep up with me.
Speed, time, and duration are not subjective measurements. I will accept that it's more comfortable for you, however.
When your navigation preference breaks the Android animation duration because you're using it so quickly, get back to me.
I have no doubt you can click very fast.
I was more referring to travel distance though.
Uhu..
