** Description changed: Using Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r480) on Meizu MX4. The spread gesture is drag from the right edge to the left. While I was working in windowed mode, I only today learnt about the apparently long present short swipe function: 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. ORIGINAL: "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?" UPDATED: been informed (see coments) that this is actually a feature, so, I'd like to file a bug: the supposed feature is VERY hard to execute, most of attempts end up not executing it at all, because it apparently requires that the gesture be stopped at a VERY precise point in order to be recognized as the short swipe, and not a long swipe. Attached is me trying to capture the scenario on camera. + It's like there is only one specific Y value, that only if you stop your gesture at that position, it will actually be recognized as the short swipe. Very difficult to do.
