Samsung Galaxy users who rely on One Hand Operation+ may have run into an annoying hiccup lately. The Good Lock module, which is designed to make one handed use easier with customizable gestures, appears to have a bug that briefly disables swipe actions after taking a screenshot. It is not a major failure, but it is frustrating enough to disrupt the flow.

Samsung confirms gesture freeze issue in One Hand Operation+

The issue shows up right after capturing a screenshot using gesture controls. Instead of continuing to work instantly, swipe gestures freeze for a few seconds before returning to normal. That delay might sound minor, but in everyday use it quickly becomes irritating, especially for users who depend on fast navigation.

A report surfaced on Samsung’s community forums (via Android Authority) where a user demonstrated the problem. A moderator from the One Hand Operation+ development team responded and confirmed that the issue is real. According to the explanation, the bug is tied to how gesture handles behave when a color is applied to them during screenshot capture.

Specifically, the gesture handles are temporarily hidden because they are being detected as part of the screenshot. This creates a short window where the system disables them, leading to the pause users are noticing. Samsung says it is already working on a fix that will make these gesture handles transparent instead of hiding them.

There is no exact timeline for the update yet, so affected users will need to wait a bit. The good news is that Samsung is aware and actively addressing it. For now, the issue does not seem widespread, but if you are experiencing it, at least there is a solution on the way.
