Android 11 Gestures Issue on S20 One UI

I haven't bene using the Android 11 gesture navigation for a while and wanted to start using them with nova recently.

Everything is fine and smooth except if I minimize an app and then quickly try to open another on my home screen. The launcher flickers and I'm unable to launch an app. Effectively, if I'm too fast in opening another app it'll fail.

Has anyone encountered this issue or found a fix?

EDIT: Here's a video of the issue. You can see on the last attempt I wait a half second and I'm able to open the app.

Seconded, not the first issue with pixel style gestures but certainly an annoying one

I just got my S21 yesterday and to my dismay I've encountered the same issue with both the version on Play Store and the v7 beta. While I would like to use the new gesture navigation, I would rather have Nova than the shitty stock launcher. Therefore I had to revert to the button based navigation.

Damn. Mine is on the way. I hoped that would resolve it.

my s21 is coming too, haven't used samsung phones since S2 (like 10 years ago). So, is OneUI that bad? what features am i gonna miss from nova?

One ui is actual a really good launcher, my only issue with it is that you can't use custom icons for apps

Just got my s21 ultra. I switched from p30 pro. I use gestures. And I have the same issue. I also see two small white brackets on the bottom left and right.

Never had this issue on my OnePlus, but this is driving me nuts on my new S21. Any solutions?
