Description
Description
When you touch hold a label, instead of showing the help text, it quickly does a fadeout animation and then it shows nothing else.
Sometimes alongside the fadeout there's a click sound.
Sometimes it doesn't even do that and it's like you never did anything. (no sound or fadeout)
Using the Select button with a controller, in my case PS4 one, it normally brings up the help text. Dedicated sounds and all.
NOTE: Touch holding works as expected in a specific area, Online Updater > Core Downloader > any listed core
Expected behavior
The help text information shows up and behaves like inside Online Updater > Core Downloader when touch-holding a core in the list.
Actual behavior
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Try touch holding an option/label in the menu, e.g.
Main Menu > Load Core - See that it's like i said in the description
Bisect Results
I think it's a long running problem, dunno how long

Research direction
Start by reproducing the touch-hold behavior on Android 12 using Main Menu > Load Core, then compare it with the working behavior in Online Updater > Core Downloader > a listed core. Done means touch-holding menu labels consistently shows the help text with the expected interaction and sounds.
