[Bug 1606570] [NEW] accidental downwards-drag causes input to be rejected

Public bug reported:

On devices with larger screens it frequently happens to me that when I
type with the OSK, I drag the OSK down by a few pixels. When I release
it, it snaps back up so it doesn't hide, but it still lost that
character that I intended to press.

There's two possible solutions:

* increase the threshold until it starts moving down (and with that
rejects input)

* Make it still accept the input despite being moved down a little. Only
reject the input when it's dragged down far enough to actually dismiss.


I'm not sure which solution is best yet, I guess I could do with either of them.
