well then, why is it so hard to execute the short swipe? I only manage
to perform it 2-3 times out of 10. Then this feature should be fixed

Title:
  short swipe on spread gesture

Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r480) on Meizu MX4. The spread gesture is drag from the right edge to the left. While I was working in windowed mode, I
  only today learnt about the apparently long present short swipe function:

  the gesture, if only performed mid-way, and then discontinued, would
  execute a cross-fade transition between the current window and the
  next window in the z-order queue, and then switch to that window
  WITHOUT going to the full spread.

  Later I tried to reproduce only to learn that it is not easy, because
  the gesture has to be discontinued very very precisely, otherwise the
  full spread mode will kick in.

  ORIGINAL: "Obviously now, I understand that this is not really a feature, rather an undocumented behavior of sort. But I like it.
  Perhaps this could be tuned, to the point where it can become an ACTUAL feature, that users could take advantage of?"

  UPDATED: been informed (see coments) that this is actually a feature, so,
  I'd like to file a bug: the supposed feature is VERY hard to execute, most of attempts end up not executing it at all, because it apparently requires that the gesture be stopped at a VERY precise point in order to be recognized as the short swipe, and not a long swipe.

  Attached is me trying to capture the scenario on camera.
