If you’re a Galaxy owner, you may be familiar with One Hand Operation Plus. Part of the Good Lock suite, the app allows you to access apps, capture screenshots, turn on the flashlight, and more with simple swipes. While it’s a handy tool for one-handed use, a bug is causing some friction with users.
The issue at hand deals with actions after taking a screenshot. Specifically, swiping gestures will temporarily stop working once a screenshot is taken. While the swiping freeze seems to only last for a few seconds, that’s long enough to get on anyone’s nerves.
One user has shared an example of the bug on Samsung’s community forum. In a reply to the post, a moderator with the One Hand Operation development team confirmed the problem. They also provided the following explanation for what’s going on:
The moderator goes on to say that the team is working on a fix. This fix will make “gesture handles transparent rather than hidden.” No concrete date was given for when the fix will roll out. However, they say it will arrive in a future update.
