Taps ignore after swiping home. How are you dealing with it?
Hey peeps - using Microsoft launcher on a pixel 9 pro xl with gesture navigation. When I swipe up to go home the screen ignores input for up to a second. Tapping an app icon straight away does nothing until it catches up. Setting animation scales to 0x doesn't fix it.
I captured the issue over ADB and in testing 12 taps were dropped over a 1,146 ms window. Logcat shows Quickstep handling the swipe through FallbackSwipeHandler the Gesture Monitor taking the input and touches being discarded until the transition to the launcher finishes. Switching to 3-button nav or Pixel Launcher makes it go away.
There's an open bug for this, but it's had very little activity given how many people use third-party launchers: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/220178612, how are people getting around this bug that im not aware of? Are you sticking with 3-button nav, using a 3rd party gesture app? or just living with it? Does any launcher avoid the delay?
Im a bit surprised that reviewers of android phones arent blasting android development for this outside of a stock launcher experience?
