Fixed(?): Black screen when swiping post closed bug resolved after Samsung's One UI 6.1 update (lemmy.world)

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

That's good. I heard they made gestures changes but GoodLock can restore them.

Yeah, I ended up installing that to bring back my previous swipe gestures.

I like button navigation, but I don't like having the buttons on the screen at all times where they'll eventually burn in, so just being able to swipe where the buttons otherwise would be was working for me.

I tried to switch to the new gesture mode they implemented, but having the entire left and right sides of my screen get turned into a back button, preventing me from swiping the edges of my device to open and close menus like I was used to, was just too inconvenient.

GoodLock brought me back to how things were and I'm happy it exists, but the only drawback is that it doesn't seem to support long pressing the home button to bring up Google Assistant. Or rather, that Google Assistant no longer supports that mode of being called, opting for Circle to Search instead, which GoodLock can't call up either.
