Bug description

The recently added ability to lock applications in recents interferes with gesture navigation. When attempting to swipe down to bring an app in recents to the foreground, the gesture is instead triggering the lock-in-recents action, preventing normal app navigation.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Swiping down on an app in recents
  2. It locks/pins the app instead of bringing it to the foreground
  3. This breaks the expected gesture navigation workflow
  4. There is no way to disable this behavior currently (or I didn't find it)

Relevant log (logcat/build log)

None

Solution

Users should have a toggle option to disable the "lock in recents" feature, allowing gesture-based navigation to work as intended without "conflicts", without locking.
