Empty areas in scopes produce haptics feedback without triggering any other action

[Michael Zanetti]

If a scope category contains a uneven amount of items (in a sense that its not evenly divisible by columnCount) it leaves a bit of empty space at the lower right corner. Tapping into that area doesn't do anything but still produces haptics feedback. Such a feedback should only be used when there's actually an action triggered by the tap.

still a bug as of today

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

I'm not sure what unity8 can do here. I've no idea where the haptics even come from...

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

Why is this marked incomplete? The issue is still valid. To reproduce tap on an empty space in the dash. It will produce haptics feedback even though no action is happening.

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

Turns this seems to be caused by a disabled AbstractButton that still produces haptics feedback even though its disabled.

 * Did you perform an exploratory manual test run of the code change and any related functionality?

yep

 * Did CI run pass? If not, please explain why.

nope, seems offline :/

 * Did you make sure that the branch does not contain spurious tags?

yes
