Can we escalate this issue somehow? Where does it have to be fixed? Upstream?
What about certification? Can that help to escalate the issue? - https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201712-26045/ (ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Generation) - https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201603-20841/ (Dell Inspiron 13 2-in-1 5000 Series) - https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201605-22328/ (Dell Inspiron 13 2-in-1 5000 Series) - No certification yet for ASUS T304UA 2-in-1 - No certification yet for ThinkPad Yoga 12 (S120) - No certification yet for Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 The problem seems generic to touch screen devices in general. As long as this isn't fixed the GNOME desktop (and thus Ubuntu) isn't ready for devices equipped with touch screens, including the popular 2-in-1 convertibles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765356 Title: "Show Applications" button triggers too often on touchscreen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Given I am logged in on the Ubuntu default desktop (running GNOME Shell 3.28.1) when I press the "Show Applications" button at the lower end of the task bar then only the tooltip appears and when I press the "Show Applications" button again then the applications (of the "Frequent" category) are shown and immediately hidden again. Extended scenario: When the above described has been done a few times then pressing the "Show Applications" button _only once_ makes the applications show _and_ hide immediately (in a single action) and I have to use the mouse to make the applications display. Current Behavior ---------------- It looks like touch screen events for that area are somewhat "recorded" and then executed all at once. Expected Behavior ----------------- The applications should be shown immediately upon a single touch press on the "Show Applications" button, and hidden again the same way. In other words, the behavior should be consistent with pressing the button using the mouse (or touch pad). Additional Information ---------------------- I could reproduce this issue on both a Dell Inspiron 13 5000 Series 2-in-1 (convertible with touch screen) and a Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th Generation (2018).
