Pressing "Back" soft button rapidly

[Qatrium]

This looks like a software bug, because I noticed it on my Xperia Z3 dual on both kitakat and lollipop, and previously on my Z1:

When you're in any app, and you press the Back soft button rapidly and repeatedly, it will cycle you on some of the last opened apps. Sometimes I do this just to exit the active app, as some apps require double tapping on the Back button. Other apps like "Maps" requires more than 2 taps to exit Navigation.

It doesn't happen all the time, it will occur most probably when the device was not restarted for some time and there are some apps in the recent menu.

Can anyone recreate this bug?

@Rickard has looked into this. I confirm this behaviour on Z1,it seems that it is not recommended to quickly press back back back.

But it's fun

Yeah,I can agree on that. Maybe press home and after that go to where you want.

Yes, i can also recreate this in certain menus. For example if you press it fast and repeatedly just after pressing the red button to hang up a call you can see this.

It's something that i've forwarded internally but i'm not sure if this is something that will be changed.
