Bug Description

When you go to a preview, you're actually getting a list that you can swipe through horizontally, we need to get rid of that, as conflicts with edges and is not discoverable.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1567685/comments/9 for some clarification.

can we place this as optional enabled, or put it back i was using this to swipe through individual articles in scopes.

workflow:
- click on first preview in say a news article list
- scan article
- swipe to next
- channel surf through articles

new behaviour:
- click on article
- reach for back button
- look for second article
- click on it
- whops wrong article
- reach for back button
- read through titles of articles
-click on one
- didnt want to read that one
- reach for back button
- click on next
-read all of that one
- reach for back button...
- give up

I really would like to have the old behavior back. I used the feature on a daily basis. Never experiences any issues with edges! Swiping at the center of the screen allowed for browsing through a list.

A usual use case was: search for an appropriate app:
search term e.g. "Recorder" in software center
Access one item, and look at the description and voting of others by swiping.

As Felix & Mateo, I would like to see the old approach back (as an optional feature?)
