, thanks but I don't have that 3-button navigation setting, though i am still on android 9 (it is the latest version i can download apparently, was released in January). But I did a restart (forgot to do that earlier) and while the button does not show the gesture works again. :)
(I also came across several topics on other forum with the same problem, apparently it is some kind of Android issue)
