Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Touchscreen touches at the left or bottom edges (within 20px) of the screen are not treated as mouse clicks. Icons only get highlighted, not launched.
[ Test Plan ]
0. Find a touchscreen.
1. Set Ubuntu Dock in Panel mode (the default mode) if not already.
2. Touch as close to the edge of the screen as possible. Aim for the gap between the icon and the edge of the screen.
Expect: The app launch animation occurs for each tap. Icons aren't just highlighted.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Anywhere in touchscreen gesture tracking or even regular touchscreen usage. As this bug demonstrates, the former is able to interfere with even simple touchscreen actions.
[ Workaround ]
Size the Ubuntu Dock adequately large so it is unlikely the user will touch less than 20 pixels from the edge of the screen.
[ Original description ]
