Specifically, swiping gestures will temporarily stop working after taking a screenshot. Although the swiping freeze only lasts a few seconds, it&#8217;s enough to irritate anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>A user shared an example of a bug <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/r1.community.samsung.com\/t5\/%EC%84%9C%EB%B9%84%EC%8A%A4-%EA%B8%B0%ED%83%80\/one-hand-operation\/m-p\/37796103\">Samsung&#8217;s community forum<\/a>. 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:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It has been confirmed that this issue occurs because when gesture handles are assigned a color they are set to hidden,<br \/>Due to some problem they are involved in screen capture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>The moderator further says that the team is working on a solution. This improvement will &#8220;make gesture handles transparent instead of hidden.&#8221; No concrete date was given as to when the reform will be implemented. However, they say that this will come in a future update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Cc e_L\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
