I always assumed it was either a device touch-smudge issue (which is common for touch devices), or an "angle of swipe" issue. For the latter, I have gotten into a habit of swiping exactly vertically and it seems to work for the most part. Not sure if there is a margin of error here about how the angle is calculated. (touch panel sensitivity?)
Agree with that last comment as well. Sandip On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 5:17 PM, Dylan Oliver <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I often have some degree of trouble.
