I've noticed that with the most recent update (One UI v 7.0) when I hit the recent apps button, it automatically pushes the current app to the side and  then brings the last used app to front and center. As I swipe through the apps, there is like a shadow of the last app I had open hanging in the background while I swipe through the carousel of apps. It gives a very circular effect when swiping through and I find it to be super disorienting because it confuses me which way to swipe to get back to the last app I was using. I'm also seeing a glitch where it's showing me the last app I used as the front and center option, and then pushing a strange duplicate version off to the right side, as if it's an option to choose from (see photo). I'm finding this all to be incredibly disorienting and slowing down my ability to use my phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

@tak17 I wonder if you were using Good Lock's Home Up. The Task changer has an option to Center the currently running app. Perhaps you had that enabled before.
You should verify that you have Good Lock updated, Home Up updated, and that option enabled.
