Accessing the quick menu with long press on the LIGHT sometimes making a screenshot

Elmiku 1 month ago

Hi all

I was wondering if other people experienced the same issue I have from time to time.
I am on the latest firmware 25.04.

If I long press the LIGHT button, the quick menu should appear, but this is not always the case. Very often the watch is making a screenshot instead. This is also shown as an alert on screen that a screenshot has been made.
I think this is a bug

Normally a screenshot should only be taken when pressing the BACK button + the LIGHT button.

This is really annoying, because when I need to pay something I cannot immediatetely access the Garmin Pay app via the quick menu. Instead of being able to pay I maded already 3 or more unwanted snaphots trying to access the quick menu

Regards

Kurt

I *may* have seen something similar.

I say 'may' because whilst I've certainly ended up taken a screenshot without meaning too I have always assumed I had somehow pressed the Light + Back buttons together without realising it. I have always been fairly confident that I haven't done this given the way I hold my watch but not confident enough to rule out what would otherwise be the most obvious explanation.

Next time it happens I will pay extra attention to exactly where my fingers were at the time and see if I can be more confident about whether or not I may have caught the Back button at the same time.

The most annoying thing is having to connect the watch to my PC in order to delete the screenshots. I could just leave them of course, but my OCD makes this quite undesirable!
