Bug Description

Sometimes apps are deleted accidentally when carrying the smartphone in my pocket. It only happens if I've forgotten to activate the lock screen (welcome screen).

 1. Main scope is "Apps scope"!!!
 2. Installed app is unintended pressed for a few seconds in my pocket opens it's description on the Ubuntu Store directly.
 3. "Uninstall" and "Open" appear. If "Uninstall" is also pressed by accident the option "Confirm" is at the same position so it can happen that one app vanishes from my bq.

It would be better if the buttons "Uninstall" and "Confirm" are on different positions. "Confirm" and "Abort" should be switched.

Wow indeed unfortunate

Can you say ore about why you are getting these false inputs? We have gone to some lengths to not enable the screen when the proximity senses its in your pocket.

Please add details for build version and which device

Why? Good question... Light shining through the cloth of my trousers, a lot of walking around in my job (primary school teacher), carrying a whole universe in my pocket around (keys, lighter...)... Main problem seems to be the user (me ;) ) putting the phone with the screen enabled in his pocket. Changing position of the buttons would be the best way to avoid deleting apps.
