It is true that false positives in this case can be very annoying and destructive and we should minimise accidental application closings without making intentional closing action difficult. I proposed 50% increase to initial threshold value. It's hard to figure out a perfect value without hands on testing but when this is implemented let me know and I'll test it before merging it in.
Also to prevent jumping motion happening after threshold value is exceeded there is a propoasal in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8/+bug/1352842 ** Description changed: Currently, the close threshold is too small (you can close app with a fast swipe even for short distance movement), should be increased + + -------------------------------- + Desired solution: + + Increase the initial threshold (the one that activates closing action) + by ~50%. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Triaged => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350803 Title: [Spread] Threashold in spread for closing apps should be increased To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1350803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
