[sdk] back button hard to reach/use

[Tommi Tervo]

Open some sub page, e.g. updates. If you want to go back to the main screen one has to reach quite small < button on the top left corner. It would be easier if the whole updates field would act as a back button or even better, just swipe from left to right.

-------- UX comment ----------

The plan is to make the whole area of title & BACK button tappable.
This is specified in the UI Toolkit documentation and will hopefully land whit the next SDK release.

Thank you for your report, Tommi.

If the back button is too small, this is a Ubuntu UI Toolkit/Ubuntu UX issue, not really a System Settings issue. We shouldn't fix the issue in System Settings's update panel, rather, we should fix the root issue with the header—if any.

We have a minimum touch-size now for components, including the back button, so the problem may not exist any more. Also, I don't see in the specs any more here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1235LE15c9YDBkma1BSBdK5_S9MeZkXs0RncfqIVPJQs/edit that the title area should act as the back button. The back button and title area are now clearly shown as separate slots in the header.

So I think this bug is not valid any more. Waiting for confirmation from design.

I can confirm Tim's comment. There is a minimum touch size for components and the back button is independent from the title and a separate slot.

Thanks for the update Rae. I'll close the bug.
