Revision history [back]

After the upgrade to Äijänpäivänjärvi, edge swipes in landscape behave inconsistently. They work fine for some apps but they act as if the device were in protrait for others. So, for example, a left edge swipe is interpreted as a top edge swipe and closes the app instead of switching to the home screen. Likewise for other edge swipes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn your phone to landscape: speaker and USB port on the left, mic and LED on the right, buttons on the top.
2. Start one of the affected apps, e.g. File Browser.
3. Swipe from the left edge.
4. Tada!

It does not behave like that for all the apps, only for some. A quick test found: File Browser, Webcat, Modrana, Web Pirate, LLsvPlayer. It worked fine before the OS update.

EDIT Addition to the steps to reproduce. Once an affected application is started in portrait, the issue does not show until it is started again in landscape TWICE. Curiouser and curiouser.
