Kris, you really want to do a very short swipe, within 20% of the screen
width, to trigger the short gesture. Trying here on my krillin, I have
maybe 95% percent success rate.
You can actually see exactly where the threshold is by dragging the app
very slowly - the moment the bottom app starts shrinking is when you
reached the long swipe, releasing before that will a short swipe.
I'll mark this as invalid, please reopen if you feel the thresholds are
incorrect - maybe we'll need to think about making it configurable.

Title:
short swipe on spread gesture
Status in Ubuntu UX:
Invalid
Status in unity8 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. 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 comments) 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.
Actually seems like 2 such sweet spots (Y values) exist: one very very close
to the edge (so swipe is super short), and another kind of exactly precisely in
the middle of the screen. Attached video shows the latter one.
