HUD is always displayed when bottom swiping for toolbar

[Pat McGowan]

This past week a regression was introduced. When swiping up from the bottom, any swipe past the limits of the bottom toolbar panel shows the hud. The user then needs to touch the screen to dismiss the HUD before using the toolbar actions. Its almost impossible to not show the HUD.

The HUD is also revealed for any swipe that starts in the lower panel area, so it also appears while scrolling long lists as in contacts or photos or messages.

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

The HUD icon is not shown from the UITK, it is handle outside of the UITK (although the HUD can control toolbar visibility in apps using dbus). Assigning it to Antti to investigate, but please ping me if you need something from UITK-side.

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

Antti, please update the project affected if it belongs somewhere else.

Assigned to Cimi, it's what the design guys asked us to do, so someone may want to pull in Oren

I noticed this on my device last week and thought it was a temporary issue in an app. Seems a wider problem. I made a video to show it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqABpG0KJ8c

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

I too see this. I've been trying to train myself to not swipe so high from the bottom to get the bottom panel, or to grab too low when scrolling a long list (like contacts). I haven't had tremendous success and see this quite frequently.

[Oren Horev (oreneeshy)]

please revert the change to the last version. I will review with Cimi as we are iterating to find the right behaviour.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Need this for a demo tomorrow afternoon in the US please

  * include ~/.local/share/applications in launcher's .desktop file
    search path.
  * shrink size of area for revealing the HUD button and make it

  * revert revision 304 as it makes the Shell crash.

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * Allow testers to set custom password or pin in demo mode, rather
    than hardcoding them.
  * Have the greeter use AccountsService to determine its background.
    (LP: #1218402)
  * Listen to changes in the "show edge demo" AccountsService setting.

  [ Daniel d'Andrada ]
  * Update fake/mock plugins so that "./run --fake" works well again -
    You can now see the thumbnails of the fake running applications once
    again. - You no longer get hundreds of warnings due to icons not
    found.
  * Reset apps scope when returning from app to dash (LP #1193419) If an
    app is on foreground and you perform a long left-edge swipe to
    minimize it, and therefore return to the dash, the dash should be in
    the Applications scope and showing the running/recents applications.
