I came here looking for a fix and/or workaround for this problem and I was disappointed to not find one. Text messages used to always display no matter how long they were and now there exists a finite length they could be that prevents them from displaying unless you tap a button that closes...

It's true, I came into this under the assumption that a glitch needed to be fixed. Eventually I learned that it was a design choice and shifted my question appropriately (I think that happened in another thread, though). Either way, it's still, from my perspective, unexpected and undesirable...

"Fixing" does, indeed, imply an error or something behaving incorrectly. It doesn't matter whether that incorrect behaviour resulted from someone making a choice or making a mistake (or any other reason), it's still something behaving incorrectly. Thank you for the well wishes. I respect...

I managed to find an app, Buttons Remapper, that offers this functionality. It requires a little more set up that I can't quite figure out (I've sent an email to the developer about it) to get it to work exactly as I want it, but it's already been able to make it such that the recent apps...

Obviously this isn't true. If there was nothing to be fixed, there would be no thread on a support forum asking how to fix it. It's true, switching quickly between two apps is useful sometimes and it can be accomplished by hitting the recent apps button and tapping another app (maybe with a...

I responded to the other thread. In short: I appreciate the workarounds for more consistently accessing the context sensitive menu, but they don't fix the problem that the Recent Apps button fills the screen with a list of open apps instead of opening it.

Thank you for those offers, I've explored both the Assistant Menu and the Menu Button app. It's nice that they provide consistent access to a context sensitive menu, but they don't fix the root problem that the Recent Apps button fills the screen with a useless list. Additionally, they both...

Oh. It's that way by design? That seems very unintuitive. Oh well, I guess that means I should be asking a slightly different question. How can one change their preferences such that the Recent Apps button opens a context sensitive menu instead of filling the screen with a list of open apps?

Once again, I appreciate the effort it took for you to offer me more information about how and why this problem exists, but it's, unfortunately, not helpful. How do I fix the Recent Apps button so it opens a context sensitive menu instead of filling the screen with a useless list when I tap it?

I responded to the other thread. In short: I appreciate the clarification of terms and names of things very much, but it's, unfortunately, not helpful. The problem is still there and a fix for it is desired, not more information on why or how it exists.

I apologize for the mix up with the screen shots, they were displaying when I initially posted but now they seem to be dead links. In any case, it seems to be less relevant now since I am referring to the capacitative (both I and my spell check learned a new word today) button to the left of...

Thanks for the link to that guide, B. Diddy! Here are some screenshots. When I tap the menu button, a context sensitive menu is supposed to open like this (taken from my old S4): However, when I tap it, my screen actually fills with a list that's completely useless like this: It doesn't...

There's something very relevant and important missing from this thread so far: the fix/workaround for this problem (or, alternatively, a timeline as to when will one be implemented). Special note: the problem is that pressing the menu key fills the screen with a useless list instead of a...

I'm in the process of setting up my new S6 and I've run into a problem I can't fix on my own. When I tap the persistent area to the left of the button, I expect a menu relevant to the current context to open - instead, all I've been getting is a meaningless list for which no meaningful...
