My Android 7.1.2 (Linage) on a Samsung SIII Mini just needs a

I tried that, no luck at all - with a slow swipe up, the display of
time and date gradually reduce in size, so it must be seeing my swipe.

That's what happens as I swipe up. What happens with a straight
gentle swipe up that goes goes off the top of the screen? Is there
any other unlock method required such as a PIN or pattern? I have a
pattern set.
