[Q] App Switcher unresponsive since 4.4.2 update - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having problems with their app switcher / task switcher softkey on the Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.2?
Here's what happens with mine half the time:
- I hit the softkey and the vertical list of open app thumbnails appears
- I tap on a thumbnail
- Nothing happens for a second, then the phone returns to the homescreen
However if I first swipe up a little to scroll the task list, then tap on a thumbnail, the thumbnail gets outlined and that app opens as it should
Any ideas?!

It seems to be connected to face unlock. If I go back to pattern unlock the issue goes away.

where is the menu softkey

I'm trying to acccess apex launcher settings from home screen and I can't do it
The menu softkey is usually a series of 3-4 dots stacked up. Either in the lower left next to the recent apps softkey, or sometimes in the upper right.
Oka..
I have seen this and I noticed that with apex and nova the menu button does not show when on home screen.. I have been using aokp and manually enabled menu however once pressed it does nothing.. This would indicate to me that when in tablet mode these launchers disable the menu.. Most likely have to open the application draw then press the menu in top right corners.. OR put a shortcut to the apex settings on your home screen

Slowdown after Sense Home update?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. After the latest Sense Home update, my phone has slowed down when returning to the home screen or opening the app drawer. When I unlock my phone, it takes about two seconds before before the launcher or home screen widgets appear. They used to appear instantaneously. Also, when I go to open the app drawer I see the spinning circle for 2 or 3 seconds before app icons appear. Did this happen to anyone else?

Lenovo tab2 a10-30 touchscreen problem

After updating to android 6.0.1 I'm having a touchscreen problem.
After a few seconds of using of the tablet a shadow appears in the upper part of the screen around one of the icons. If I'm on the home screen it will appear around the top left app icon regardless of what icon is it, if I'm in settings screen the shadow will apear around the top left option.
The shadow affects scrolling by stucking the screen and doesn't allows me to choose any other opption besides the shaddowed one. I have or to go back one screen or to lock and unlock the screen in order to choose what I want.
Had anyone faced the same problem? Any solution beside rolling back to 5.1.1 (problem of it's own)?

Issues with stock launcher and swipe up from home

Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-not-working-properly-when-in-an-app.1020737/
1. Have "Back, Home - swipe up on the home button -" activated in the "navigation bar & gestures" settings of the device.
2. Open any app on the device
3. Swipe up on home button or on the right side of the Pill navigation bar in order to access recent apps. In short, try accessing the recent apps screen by swiping up fast.
4. Observe that it doesn't work and after swiping a second time, it takes you instantly on the home screen without accessing the "recents apps" screen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Happens to me randomly with stock launcher set as default. With Nova as default it seems to be resolved.

Home Screen app icons appearing in app

When I touch and led go near the multitask button, the Home Screen app icons flash for a brief moment on top of the app that is currently open.
(see screen recording)
I have noticed the bug since the last update, is this a already known bug? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advace,
