Square button stops working + is slow in general

[mattfbacon]

Sometimes (not consistent at all) the square button stops working and does absolutely nothing until reboot. Other times the square button does not work normally, but spam tapping triggers the double-click "switch to last app" and then somehow it works to go into the recents view from there. I read that this is due to the launcher and was able to confirm that switching to the default AOSP launcher fixes the problem.

Also, even when the square button works, it is laggy, like 200-300 ms to open the recents view, compared to visually instant with the AOSP launcher.

Hmm, I wonder if this is being caused by some blocking of the UI thread during the initialization of the app. 🤔 I am currently working on a major refactoring of the data-flow/structure. My hope is that once this is complete this behavior will no longer persist. If not, we can dig in further.

Oh great, please let me know when that's ready and I will test it 🙂
