UX: Back button (lap) bug while workout is running

Hi,

I've noticed the unfortunate behavior of the Back ("lap") button during a running workout.

Activity: Run

Lap key is turned off (Activity Run setup)
System Hot key "Hold BACK" is mapped to "Lap"

After starting the activity, everything behaves correctly, and the new lap starts after a long-press of the Back button. Short-press of Back button switches me to main screen (same as when no activity is launched), this is correct.

But, if an workout is started (Daily suggestion, Intervals etc.), then lap is triggered after short-press Button too!!! This behavior is bad and has caused me to stop training prematurely several times... :-(

Is this behavior the same for others?

Regards,

djx

I think it would be the best you to change hold Back button shortcut to show watchface and let the Lap button take its default functionality.

It will probably take some days to get used to it but it is…

No, I really don't think my requirements are weird and that I would be really alone with them... Link to the thread from FR945 LTE discussion: https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-945-lte/289173/disable-lap-button-during-workouts - here is exactly the same thing required by a lot of people...
