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\u2019s a handy tool for one-handed use, a bug is causing some friction with users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s long enough to get on anyone\u2019s nerves.<\/p>\n<p>One user has shared an example of the bug on Samsung\u2019s 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\u2019s going on:<\/p>\n<p>It has been confirmed that this issue occurs because the gesture handles are set to be hidden when a color is assigned to them,<br \/>due to a problem where they are included in the screen capture.<\/p>\n<p>The moderator goes on to say that the team is working on a fix. This fix will make \u201cgesture handles transparent rather than hidden.\u201d No concrete date was given for when the fix will roll out. However, they say it will arrive in a future update.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
