Title:
  Tap / Swipe don't work well

Status in Canonical System Image:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Browsing the Web or using Web Apps like Twitter are not really
  pleasant on my BQ E5 HD with OTA-10. At least 50 per cent of the time
  when I want to scroll up or down the page using my index finger, the
  phone reacts by following a link below my finger where I start the
  swiping/scrolling.

  To me it seems like Ubuntu interprets a gesture as a tap way too
  early.

  If you want to try, visit a page like msn.com, yahoo news or
  spiegel.de and try to just scroll the page without accidentally
  following any of the links to the full article or some ad.

  This is really annoying for me as I constantly need to go back and
  retry my scrolling. Feels like the phone does what it wants instead of
  doing what I want.

  I suspect this is just a question of a few additional milliseconds
  more to wait if a touch gesture is a swipe or a tap. I am quite sure
  this is not (only) my fault, because I owned an iPhone and an Android
  tablet and very rarely expereinced similar problems.
