UI LANGUAGE: German
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?):

DESCRIPTION:

As described in the title, closing an app by swiping down on left or right edge fails in approx. 9 of 10 trials. Sometimes it seems on left side it’s working a little bit better, but I’m right-handed :wink:
It doesn’t matter whether the app was opened in portrait or landscape format.

PRECONDITIONS:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. open an app
  2. go to landscape mode
  3. try to close app by swipe down

EXPECTED RESULT:

App should close

ACTUAL RESULT:

App doesn’t close. Sometimes peek menu appears ,sometimes other actions. Camera app for instance toggles between front and rear camera.

Same as on XA2 (somewhere mentioned here on fso or I guess on tjc).

Try to pull the top menu from the middle, dismiss and try again…

I can confirm this for my X10 II - exactly as described.

So then I see it more and more as a SFOS SW bug!
And not caused by a device…

Since SFOS 4.2.0.19 Verla EA it’s working as expected for Xperia 10 II. So I would say solved with software release. Thanks.

So maybe i am not using the correct moves, but if i use the Android version of Open Camera in landscape mode, i can just bring the app to thumbnail by swiping from the side, instead swiping from the then bottom of the app. What i don’t really find that intuitive and easy to remember, as i also think, it is not continuously implemented in the OS.
