[bug] Swipe to quit on the XA2 somtimes seems to be "inactive"

Hi there, I read about a similar problem somwhere (I think) here but I really can't find it any more so I start a bug report.

Well, on my XA2 with latest SFOS there seems to be a problem with "swipe from right/left top" to close an app. Here my observations:

  • it mostly seems to be in landscape, no matter if Android or sailfish app
  • when in landscape, swiping from the middle works but not perfectly well, but it works
  • when swiping from the middle, even just one millimeter, swipe to close gets "activated" and works perfectly. So the guess that the swipe margin is too small, especially on the rounded edges of the screen, seems not to be the problem
  • on advanced camera in landscape after taking a picture it is not possible to quit the app from the right or left side. After some seconds it is possible to do so. Once it was used successfully it seems to work normally
  • sometimes in settings app when you have to scroll down a page because it's a bit longer, swipe to quit does not work when you are not on the top of the page. Getting to the top or (I don't know exactly) swiping back to the left makes quitting possible.

Well it seems that there is a problem that the marging for "swipe to quit" is not always active. These problems happen frequently and every day but I cannot reproduce them all the time. Hope this helps fixing the problem.

Greetings, broncheolus.

PS.: I really like SFOS on my XA2.
