Quick Settings Menu Opens When Talking on Phone

[Android Central Question]

Pixel XL2-Android P

Seems just since the November 5th update whenever I talk on the phone against my ear, locked or unlocked, my quick setting menu opens up. This causes random changing to my quick settings.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is there any way to lock the quick settings menu from pulling down when you are on an active call?

Tks.

Does the screen go black when you're on a call and you hold a finger across the top (where the proximity detector is)? (If the screen blanks, you shouldn't be able to change the settings - that's what the proximity detector is for.)

Do you have a case on it it that's covering the proximity detector?

Do you have a screen protector on it? (Some of them block the proximity detector)?
