[left edge] move the initiation point further to the right so that it is ⅔ across the screen

[John Lea]

Move the left edge continuation gesture ‘switch screen to Dash Home’ initiation point further to the right.

Currently if the user releases their finger when they more than 50% across the screen this initiates the ‘switch screen to Dash Home’ action.

This bug requests that the ‘switch screen to Dash Home’ action should only be initiated if the user lifts their finger when their finger is more than two-thirds the way across the screen (e.g. further to the right)

This change will help reduce the incidence of false positives with this gesture.

2/3 of screen or 26 grid units?
on a phone, 2/3 of screen is roughly 26 grid units, on the tablet you will have to swipe lot more for 2/3 of screen

26 grid units
