Earlier to 3.0.0.5, long pressing and swiping down from Home Screen, without lifting the hand would kill all the running apps. Also, doing so, from the Events screen would Clear all the Notifications. But, after this update, from everywhere, long pressing and swiping down is bringing the Top Menu. Was this part of the update or a bug.

I think I found the misunderstanding. There is probably a difference between a "pull" and a "flick" for what seems to be the same gesture for many users. A long-press followed by a moderate downward pull usually brings the pulley menu "Close all". A faster downward flick (also if preceded by a long-press) brings the top menu. The transition between a pull and a flick however feels to be quite fluent. It will take a while to get used to it. I agree that this is not ideal and the ambiguity should be removed or clarified.
edit: This issue doesn't appear in the phone app when taking a call with the downward pull, so here Jolla considered it. Has anyone experienced this issue in other apps where the downward pull is used?
@naytsyrhc for me it works without lifting the finger in SF3, just not reliably.

Top screen is divided to 3 parts: If you swipe down from the middle it will open menu. But swiping from the left or right part of the screen will close the app. Those left and right areas seems to be quite narrow and it is still easy to open menu..

This is killing me because I have such muscle memory from before, glad I'm not alone :-p

WilbertS ( 2018-11-07 17:31:26 +0200 )editI just get both behaviors randomly. Can't figure out how to differentiate them.
AliN ( 2018-11-08 00:38:08 +0200 )editIt seems there's a timing bug. If I pull just as the 'X's appear I'll get the top menu. If I wait a little bit longer I get the pulley menu. Imo you should get the pulley menu only, after the 'X's have appeared.
