Part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-good-lock-1079882\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Good Lock<\/a> 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>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_hm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_738_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_238_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/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 <a href=\"https:\/\/r1.community.samsung.com\/t5\/%EC%84%9C%EB%B9%84%EC%8A%A4-%EA%B8%B0%ED%83%80\/one-hand-operation\/m-p\/37796103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Samsung\u2019s community forum<\/a>. 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.
