fixed: New and strange home button behaviour - how to fix?
On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.
I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.
I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?
Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it.
I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.
Rebooting is a legit IT solution though. I also asked why we do that almost all the time when we have Bluetooth problems after upgrading a Linux kernel and from the answers it turns out it's not really that "dumb", electronics are just that weird.
