You can actually use these gestures with the 3-button navbar, resulting in a ton of functionality.
TL;DR
- Galaxy owners have encountered a new One Hand Operation Plus bug.
- A glitch causes swipe gestures to temporarily stop working after a screenshot is captured.
- Samsung has confirmed the bug and is working on a fix.
If you own a Galaxy, you may be familiar with One Hand Operation Plus. Part of the Good Lock suite, the app allows you to access apps with a simple swipe, capture screenshots, turn on the flashlight, and more. Although it is a useful device for one-handed use, one bug is causing some trouble with users.

The current issue pertains to the actions taken after taking a screenshot. Specifically, swiping gestures will temporarily stop working after taking a screenshot. Although the swiping freeze only lasts a few seconds, it’s enough to irritate anyone.
A user shared an example of a bug Samsung’s community forum. In a reply to the post, a moderator from the One Hand Operation development team confirmed the problem. He also gave the following explanation for what is happening:
It has been confirmed that this issue occurs because when gesture handles are assigned a color they are set to hidden,
Due to some problem they are involved in screen capture.
The moderator further says that the team is working on a solution. This improvement will “make gesture handles transparent instead of hidden.” No concrete date was given as to when the reform will be implemented. However, they say that this will come in a future update.
