[Bug 1267580] Re: [gestures] swipe is too sensitive, makes long-press difficult

 

Yeah, nothing special we can/should do "downstream". The drag distance
Vesa mentioned is only for drag'n'drop operations, won't help in the
flickable use case.

There are however patches attached to the related QTBUG
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-35608 which would allow
the QPA plugin to change the startFlick distance.

Bug description:
  Activating the long-press event on the Dash is often difficult,
  because the slightest amount of movement will turn it into a swipe
  event.  Especially when operating the device one-handed, it's very
  hard to keep your thumb still enough to activate the long-press.

  Can we allow some about of "wiggle room" so that a swipe isn't a swipe
  unless it's moved some reasonable distance?
