Clicking on menu buttons brings up recent apps followed by menu

[Android Central Question]

I am using lyf water 7 with stock android marshmallow. Whenever i click on menu button first the recent apps screen opens up and then menu. I tried factory reset but it didn't work.

Welcome to Android Central! Which menu button are you referring to? One of the capacitative buttons next to the physical Home button? It's been a long time since either of those buttons acted as a Menu button. It's standard now that one of the buttons is Recent Apps and the other one is Back.

Yup
I am talking about the button that accompanies home and back button.
My phone is a bit old (2015) but not that old.

Long press does bring up the menu without any problems. But short press brings up both recent apps and menu

That's probably how it's designed to work. Each manufacturer can add in little customized tweaks to the interface, so that may be one that Lyf added.
