Can no longer swipe to change pages on touch screen
Looks like drag and drop from buttons is interfering. There's a commit in Hdy master that makes me feel like you might be right
Sounds like we need to open an issue upstream. @danrabbit do you happen to remember what that commit was? :sweat_smile: I guess looking before October 2, 2020 could narrow it down.
It looks like there's some discussion from November here that seems to point to a similar issue in Phosh
Is there any other significance of the drag other than pinning apps to the dock?
Given that this happens due to a conflict with drag and drop, I have a suggestion. What if dragging immediately doesn't initiate drag&drop events, but triggers the swipe gesture. In order to drag and drop, one has to touch and hold for a second before moving. It's a common interaction on smart phones (there's usually a haptic / vibration feedback when drag and drop is initiated). Also may be touching and holding and not moving the finger before removing the finger can trigger the context menu.
@SubhadeepJasu yeah I would be in favor of long-press-to-edit. This solution makes sense to me and like you said is a common interaction behavior on other platforms
