Screenshot preview stuck?

Dumdum

Anyone6308
Do you have any apps with editing capabilities installed?

Anyone6308

Dumdum I don't think so! Not any that I'm aware of at least.

splattergames

two questions: which app are you using to edit the screenshots? And: is that happening in your main profile or for example a work profile?

Anyone6308

splattergames it seems that it's the default Gallery app. I only use owner profile.

Anyone6308 you should probably use the "Markup" app from the built-in App Store. When you take a screenshot you can select to "always use" it and it has no delay whatsoever for me, while the default Gallery gets stuck most of the time.

splattergames oof yes. Much better. This solved it. Thanks!

Anyone6308 I experience this bug as well. After I take a screenshot of an app, the mini-preview gets stuck o the lower left side of the screen. If I want to edit the screenshot by tapping on the "pencil" button on the mini-preview, the stuck mini-preview obstructs the "Crop" selection in the Screenshot Edit UI. Also, the stuck mini-preview doesn't disappear no matter how much I try to swipe it away out of the screen.

I don't want to install a Google Play app for that.

Is this bug going to be fixed?

splattergames

monero4freedom what Google Play app? It's in the App Store.

splattergames Because it's a mirror, he may think it's an app from the Play Store (which, of course, it isn't).

ErnestThornhill Because it's a mirror,

Yes. I was thinking that.

splattergames It's in the App Store.

Alright, I take back the "google play store" thing.

However, my point still stands: "I don't want to install a new app just to quick edit my screenshots. " I would much rather prefer the screenshot editing capability in GrapheneOS working properly, as it was working before, by the way -- it got buggy in the recent updates (last year or so)

splattergames

monero4freedom well, then you will have to live with the buggy version I guess. This bug is most likely upstream and I don't think that's what the devs will focus on right now when there's alternatives available (quite a few actually). The GOS team also can't provide every single functionality for every feature or app you might want. There's no built-in reminders/to-do, calendar, notes, etc.. I don't expect to get all that from GOS and adapt by installing what I need myself.

Uhnoes

Yes , it is an upstream usability bug. Highly annoying and only a very simple fix.. Smaller delay is better
But I don't know the route to aosp , I just drop it here

P8P with all safe updates
No problem for me.
Tapped "Edit", my app options appeared, the micro window disappeared, and after choosing the app, all I had on screen was the app in full with nothing overlayed

Its still there. It came the day Android 15 was rolled out. The delay is really really long, too long.
You can't swipe it away and need to wait 5 secs every single time. They should adjust this delay from 5000 to 1000. - its probably coded by mistake.

On top of this I have issues with "can't save a screen shot" every 3rd or so attempt

splattergames

Uhnoes only a very simple fix

Is it? That would imply you're a well-versed Android developer. But then you don't know how to find the AOSP code?

This was literally the first search result for "AOSP". Happy fixing!
