Yes. This is the intended behaviour. The idea was to establish a clear
selection region. It is interesting though to consider a trigger of
selection mode on upward pull

assigning to mpt, as he's got the pleasure of owning indicators

MPT owns the content of indicator menus. Shell UI is owned by the leads (Mika, John, Oren)

We have a new improved indicators design that should solve this issue. Have a look at the prototype: https:/
I will create a specification document about all needed interactions and the work will be handed over to engineering after that.

We need a better algorithm to minimize false switching but this is not a
simple one. The issue here is interpretation of gestures that follow
a diagonal vector and how to distinguish a scroll - select an indicator
menu from a swipe - switch to another menu. It is clearly evident when
using thumbs in a one hand posture, but also when using the index finger in
a two hand posture. When a user performs a diagonal vector slight changes
of the finger movement result in change of mode from switch to select. The
main "protection" we deploy at the moment is
the commit threshold which disables menu switching pass a certain distance,
from the top edge. Obviously this is suboptimal.
