The QA contact in bug 1210059 <https://bugzil.la/1210059> is having trouble swiping-to-kill apps in task manager. While originally they were swiping incorrectly, they have since provided a video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=505dpgnDmhc&feature=youtu.be> which appears to show them having substantial trouble: their swipes are frequently treated as left-to-right swipes.
While it's clear that a swipe directed too far sideways will trigger scrolling rather than killing, I find that the current behavior generally matches my intent: A reasonably-confident swipe upward will reliably kill the app, a sideways swipe will scroll, and an indeterminate swipe will perform one or the other, but not both (with perhaps a minimal glitch effect in some cases due to APZ). It's possible that I'm swiping differently than others; perhaps I've been conditioned to swipe definitively along a certain axis. Even so, I haven't been able to reproduce the same kind of difficulty without deliberately trying to swipe ambiguously. Is the current swipe-to-kill gesture a problem, and to what degree? (The latest behavior should be on any nightly since Sept. 30th.)
