Bug description

used navigation mode is the 3-button navigation

App Switcher button breaks when pressing the app switcher while certain apps are loading, remains non-functional until restarting the phone or switch home app to trebuchet (I can then switch back to mlauncher after switching to trebuchet with the app switcher working)

I don't know which apps does this because it seems to break often, but I can reproduce this with a banking app (myBCA on google play)

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open myBCA (for the first time, or after forcing the app to stop)
2. Immediately press the app switcher button (this wont open the recent apps list, it'll likely to immediately break)

Expected behavior

the app switcher should still work after failing, or would work even if an app is loading

Can't reproduce this myself :(

Huh, I can't reproduce it again for some reason.

The bug does happen to me often that i keep having to reset or do that workaround though.

This also happens to me. The app switcher (square button) will frequently stop functioning, and usually can only be remedied by a restart. This issue frequently coincides with the mlauncher app list (swiping up) also not functioning.

Now I remember why I uninstalled mlauncher last year. :(

I am going to look into this a bit more as I seem to run into the same issue now and again.
