In the new design scopes will be taken away from the dash and will act as apps in the system and in many parts of the navigation. So dash won't exist in the future as a horizontal list anymore. This will fix this usability issue and I wouldn't put any efforts at this point to fix this.

Angular swipes that have an angular component (more than +/- 30 deg) are often recognised as scrolls which can seem mistaken by the user having th intention of swiping. Excepted behaviour --------------------------- recognise the horizontal intention in swipes regardless of the angular component by evaluating ratio between horizontal /vertical speeds or distances not just angle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1152150/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
