[sdk] The back button in the header is a missed target, needs more area

[Omer Akram]

The back button in the header is a very small target, I often miss tapping on it. the target area needs to be increased.

I can confirm that too.

Also something similar happens on the other side: right-side actions in the header are often difficult to tap: they either tend to be missed or the last action on the right tends to activate the right edge. I'm told the latter is bug 1320863

Personally I never had this problem. I asked around on irc, and in addition to dpm's and om26ers replies above, I got:

< popey> i can't say I have noticed that much
< ahayzen> t1mp, i initially found that the back/tab button area was too far left, but once i knew it was further across than i thought i don't miss it often now

So it is not a big problem for everybody. I will see if I can easily increase the size of the touch area. If that is not enough we maybe need some user testing and a change in design?

Usability testing found no particular issues with the back button

ok, I will keep it as it is then
