  4. Android-10 gesture mode doesn't work with the launcher

    Use a device with android 10 (pixel or nokia 9)
    Go to settings - > sytem - > gestures and select gesture mode.
    Set now the Microsoft Launcher as default Launcher

    Expected:
    I still can use Gesture to navigate around

    Actual:
    Android switch the navigation mode back to the bottom bar navigation

  5. Launcher does not remain default

    After restart of Pixel 4 device, the default launcher settings are reverted to "not selected" resulting in Pixel launcher being used. Device gestures at this point will also revert the launcher from its default even if Microsoft launcher is chosen.
