Summary

There is no 'Kill foreground app' option when configuring 'Back long press action' ( Settings / System / Buttons).

This was available for me on LOS 18, 19, 20.

Never seen it since I started using e/os 2.0.

The problem

Apps/processes continue to run consuming both mem and battery unneccesarily

Settings / System / Buttons Configure 'Back long press action' No 'Kill foreground app'

What is the current behavior?

No 'Kill foreground app' is available on dre device.

What is the expected correct behavior?

'Kill foreground app' should be available and configurable as it for many other e/os users on differente devices.
