Expressions like "All I am doing lately is" should be fallowed by "listening to music" or "listen to music"?

I have read the following links and have a question similar to them:

All we seem to do is argue or is arguing

“All you have to do is read” vs. “All you have to do is to read”

"What I have to do is" + verb inf

What form of verb should expressions like "All I want to do is" be followed by?

Based on these links, I suppose the sentence:

  1. "All I do lately is listen to music".

is right, and the sentence:

  1. All I do lately is listening to music.

is wrong.

But what about these:

  1. "All I am doing now is listen to music".
  1. "All I am doing now is listening to music".

Does the present continuous form of the verb ("doing") makes the phrase coming after "is" to be a gerund?

Maybe the original form of this sentence is

  1. "All I am doing now is [I am] listening to music".

Where [I am] is omitted so it is reasonable that the present continuous form of the verb ("doing") propagates to the phrase after "is".

What ever the answer is, can I generalize the answer to all the following expressions?

  1. What I have been doing lately is study/studying.
  2. The work that I have been doing lately is draw/drawing a painting.
  3. The dream that I am thinking about is go/going on a trip.
