Public bug reported:

The left-most key(s) on the onscreen keyboard can be difficult to
activate because the input gets interpreted as the beginning of an edge
swipe instead of a keypress.  It seems like about half of the "q" key is
allocated toward edge swipes, which can make it difficult or slow to
enter a 'q' or '1' symbol.

This issue does not affect right-edge keys, only left-edge keys.  What's
different?  Could we reduce the thickness of the edge area to improve
keyboard function, and still retain reliable edge swipe behavior?
