** Summary changed:
- discovered an unintentional extra feature in the spread aka task switcher
+ short swipe on spread gesture
** Description changed:
- 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:
+ 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. Obviously now, I understand that this is
- not really a feature, rather an undocumented behavior of sort. But I
- like it.
+ full spread mode will kick in.
- 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 a VERY
precise pint in which the gesture has to be stopped in order to be recognized
as the short swipe.
Attached is me trying to capture the scenario on camera.
