After doing some testing, I have found the reason this was happening to me (hopefully this helps others) was power saving mode. After some trial and error I have concluded the reason this was happening was due to the change in resolution. When lowered all the way, it causes it to lock up, then raise my keyboard. On the middle setting, it came up instantly, but half was keyboard, and half was the expected gallery. When the resolution is set to max, the plus brings up the gallery as expected.

My keyboard is SwiftKey.
