Hi.

I have noticed a Problem inside Oxygen OS that frustrates me daily.
Watched into it and found no posts about it. Which is really curious...

No Custom Rom (based on Oxygen OS) has it yet solved. (Or maybe is not even informed about it ;) )

Problem:
The capacitive buttons wont always work like they should.

If you press them sometimes the lights only light up and it vibrates, but noting happens.

To reproduce this Problem:
Go into any app.
Press the Home button and immediately press the recent apps button.
Nothing will happen. (Only Vibration and blinking lights)

This Problem happens on any Oxygen OS version and custom Rom based on Oxygen. - For Example "Freedom OS"
It only happens with the capacitive Buttons. The on-screen Buttons react snappy like they should.

So my Question?
Do you know a fix for this?
Do you have the same Problem?

Yeah, you're right, but this problem only occurs if you press the RecentApp Button immediately after you've pressed the home button. And immediately means within a few milliseconds.
I've never the noticed this issue in my daily usage as I'm not pressing the button instantly after using the home button. Maybe I'm not fast enough ?
