Bug: Touch detection accuracy
asked 2013-12-28 20:08:58 +0300
I was frustrated to see my wife to use Jolla for the first time. The click accuracy is too tight and she tried to tap with one finger but nothing happened. Then she tried to tap slow and after that she tried harder - still nothing. The problem is that detecting of tap needs the finger to be upright and not askew. The detection area is bigger if the finger is not upright. I have had similar issues with camera app. It's quite hard to make a shot for me, e.g. with thumb, and one of the biggest reasons is the tight accuracy of the tap event area.
Does she have long fingernails? My wife does and she had similar issues.

That'll be more likely the larger the total contact area
