MacBook Pro wake from sleep bug

Hello,


I recently got one of the newest MacBooks with M4 Pro chip, but it's doing this bug consistently.


In the new MacBook Pro when my Mac sleeps after inactivity and try to wake it from sleep using the power button it unlocks then turns back to sleeping really fast. If I try it again then it turns on and doesn’t go back to sleep. Is anyone having this same problem?

Not 100%, but I think I figured out what's wrong. I think it's my fault, I didn't fully understand how to properly push / operate it to wake up for it not to do the white / black screen flash bug and no unlocking. To do it successfully (to wake up my mac from sleep with one push of a button) I need to place my finger gently on the power button, hold it there and gently click the power button while still gently keeping my finger on the finger scanner and then it wakes up and unlocks my computer instantly without the white to black flash screen bug. At least so far has been the case for my limited testing, we'll see what further time will show if it still happens or not..
