[Bug 749714] Re: Bad issue in tablet usage (finger, not stylus)

 

@Paul

Hi, I was checking my buglist and this one unawsered, sorry about that.

I was/am using the ubuntu logo from the launcher at the top corner.

If I remember well, I was using EasyStroke[1] for some gesture to make a
call of the dash, alt-tab, reduce, close (...) and all the basics things
to manipulate a desktop environnement from a tablet screen.

Title:
  Bad issue in tablet usage (finger, not stylus)

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Incomplete
Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Unity is supose to be the unified interface of ubuntu, but these is a
  problem in daily usage:

  For tablet usage i prefer work in full screen and i use finger, not
  stylus (stylus has same issues with mouse)

  for example i work in a document with LibreOffice, and i need to check a data with Firefox
  i want to «alt tab» (or use the workspace icon)
  default setting of the dock is to be hidden when an application is in its area
  so i have to use the top-left shortcup «ubuntu-logo»
  dash appear, dock is in dark/fade effect
  → if i touch the dock  the dash disapear *BUT* the dock too (after very short time)
  → sometime if i doucle-clic on the correct icon of the application i want to «alt-tab»  it works *BUT* this isn't good for accessibility because i have to see the target icon over the dark/fade effect and it is very difficult 

  the default «Dodge windows» unity setting should be usable for finger
  touch device.
