My phone is stuck in One-hand Mode Tutorial

Please see the video. I have enable Android 10's gesture control as someone said that was the issue. My phone is US version.

I first encountered this issue with Version WW-17.1810.1910.63. I have flashed .68's OTA and it doesn't help. I can't really wipe my phone as my phone has 1 irreplacable authenticator.

OP said he can't really wipe his phone and straight off, you suggested wiping his phone. ?

Ooop, missed that last sentence ?
But is the authenticator really irreplaceable? @Yuntian What app are you using?

Anyway, I will ask our devs to look into this. If it really is true that you can soft-brick your phone by having one-handed more active while upgrading to Q, then we need to fix this ASAP

@Yuntian please give me as much details as possible. A step by step, what you did to get to this point. I can't replicate this on any of my phones so I need to know what you did differently.

That's my Blizzard account. I didn't use my real name for the account and for removing authenticator through customer/self service, they only accept photo ID for removal, unlike other 2FA where you can still use your email. If I factory reset my phone then I'll have to sue them to prove I'm the account owner.
So to replicate my issue, turn on Gesture Navigation from Advanced/Navigation (that new thing in Android 10 that let you swipe on the edge as back button), and then turn on One-hand Mode as the first time ever for tutorial. I believe if you turned on One-hand Mode before then it will not show tutorial anymore. This happened in Version WW-17.1810.1910.63, and persists after I flash .68 delta update package. Please let me know if you still need more information.

I've never seen this before. What happens if you only press the power button? Will you see the restart button?

Have you tried the wipe data/factory reset option?

Press the power button: screen turns off. Press again to see the same stucked screen.
Hold the power button: you can see the the power menu, but as tutorial layout is above the power menu, I can't tap any button.
In the video I just hold powe and volume - to force shut down.
