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.
I remember that being a super annoying problem, and then it went away. I haven't thought about that issue in years. Maybe it only happened on my old 4a.
It's been a constant thorn in my side on my Pixel 4 XL, my Pixel 6 Pro, and now my Pixel 8 Pro.
I confirmed with a friend that it still occurs on her Pixel 9 Pro XL.
I used to be a die hard three buttoner, but the two button layout (with swipe up from home being the task switcher), plus the nice swipe-the-button-bar to flip through tasks one by one is an improvement for me.
It is not nearly a replacement for me.
I use gesture navigation on mine, no buttons at all. I also use Nova launcher (with updates blocked because they just got bought by an ad company). Never had a problem!
It depends on how often and how quickly you use the task switch button. I use it to rapidly switch between two apps frequently by double tapping the button and trigger it multiple times a day still. Google still recognizes it as an open bug.
To note, this occurs with the three button layout, so the fact that you're not having a problem is expected.
I'll only switch from the three button layout if I'm forced to. The gesture based navigation is slower and less precise.
I'm glad you intuited that I meant "gesture" navigation - had an autocorrect problem. There's a bug I've seen for years where, when swiping back to home, the screen is unresponsive to taps for like a half second. Maybe that's related? Apparently it's more noticeable with third party launchers like mine.
I'll have issues after taking a screenshot and navigating back - I just get a non-responsive black screen sometimes except for the navigation buttons. Those are partially unresponsive, and I have to tap them chaotically to get rid of the black screen.
I think the whole Android system navigation has been broken since Google started rolling it into the Pixel Launcher.
That sounds quite frustrating - I'm glad I've not had that so far. Agreed about the launcher.
Weird. It doesn't happen at all on my Pixel 7 Pro.
Third party launcher and three button navigation?
Yup. I use Lawnchair and 3-button nav, and I double-tap the recent apps button 100 times a day.
I just tried it out - triggered it after about an hour. 🙁
