Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I’d tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it.
I’m tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.
On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.
I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.
I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?
You don’t understand the depths of my shame.
I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.
I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.
And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).
If anybody knows to reboot…
