Public bug reported: Using Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r480) on Meizu MX4. The spread gesture is drag from the right edge to the left. Only today I was doing the gesture slowly only to discover, what I thought was an extra feature, in the windowed mode:
the gesture, if only performed mid-way, and then discontinued, would execute a cross-fade transition between the current window and the next window in the z-order queue, and then switch to that window WITHOUT going to the full spread. Later I tried to reproduce only to learn that it is not easy, because the gesture has to be discontinued very very precisely, otherwise the full spread mode will kick in. Obviously now, I understand that this is not really a feature, rather an undocumented behavior of sort. But I like it. Perhaps this could be tuned, to the point where it can become an ACTUAL feature, that users could take advantage of? Attached is me trying to capture the scenario on camera. ** Affects: ubuntu-keyboard (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "MAH05479.MP4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648312/+attachment/4788927/+files/MAH05479.MP4 ** Description changed: Using Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r480) on Meizu MX4.
