[Bug] [1.1.9.28] Peeking now freezes the running app
Update 11/09/16: Wow time flies, it's already been one year since one of the coolest Sailfish features doesn't work anymore for native apps, but still works for Android apps. A little up for the anniversary :(
Hello. Now, when you peek to see your Home screen, the currently running app is freezing, e.g.:
- If you play a video, the sound will continue playing but the image will be frozen. With third party player which support it, the video continues to play on the cover.
- If you load a page in the browser, only the cover will be updated in real-time. You will see the loaded page only when you release the peek.
- etc..., it's the same for all apps. Except for Android apps!
It brings a bad user experience, and with that, SailfishOS 2.0 loose a bit of its "true multitasking experience". The ability to make your running app half transparent to see your events/apps status was really awesome, please bring that back! :)
If you have movement ie. animation in web browser, it's weird to see the animation continuing in the small cover, but not on the full size version you are peeking through :)

leszek ( 2015-09-10 19:25:26 +0200 )editIt's not just happening for videos/browser/media but for all Apps: e.g. if you use the pulley-menu to update your e-mails manually and directly peek after selecting 'update' with the pulley menu the native e-mail app will stop to update while in 'peek-status'. This shouldn't happen on a multitasking oriented phone and it didn't act like that before the first SFOS 2.0 update.

And actually I just figured out that it's not exactly true. It works correctly with Android apps! What a shame :D
PS: why did you remove the "freeze" tag? I think it is more important than the "bug" tag.
