It *is* a feature, and has been there since the early days of ubuntu touch:
- short swipe from the right edge: switch to the most recent app
- long swipe: reveal the app spread

Title:
discovered an unintentional extra feature in the spread aka task
switcher
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
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.
