I. Don't know what I did but the BB KEY Used to bring uo full.
Screen and now it shows screen icons in a horizontal box of 4 which you can
Slide with your finger. I must have changed some settinG but don't know which one.
Sounds like you are pressing it down a hair too long, if you hold down the BB key you will see a list of applications currently running (mail, home, browser, plus anything you may have running).
Try pressing it faster, or you may have a hardware issue.
Have you updated the software lately? I can't remember the exact version I came from, possibly .75, but when I installed .83, it seemed that the time required to bring up the app switcher was cut in half. Short taps will make it function as you expect, but slightly longer taps register as a hold and bring up the app switcher. The weird thing is that a co-worker with the same os version doesnt have this problem. Exact same settings on both phones.
