To close the app user should perform a long right edge swipe (enter spread stack) and swipe apps up or down from there to close them. Apps are not meant to be closed during the edge gesture though I just realised that that is actually possible. I'll create a bug about that. So as far as I'm concerned this can be marked as invalid. Please reopen if you disagree.
The new bug about closing during the gesture: https://bugs.launchpad.net /ubuntu-ux/+bug/1445572 ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1356487 Title: [spread] Need to teach about right edge gestures somehow Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Steps: 1. Run just one app 2. Swipe form the right to get the app spread 3. Try to close the open app by flicking it up Result: The app spread snaps into the app or the launcher (which is ever is on top). It's possible to close the app only by using 2 hands to do a tricky maneuver to close the app as you invoke the spread. Expected: The apps stay spread long enough to flick the app closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1356487/+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
