Bug Description

When performing a long right edge swipe user enters application spread. If user end up there accidentally usually next thing he would like to do is to cancel the action to go back where he came from. Currently there is no way to cancel the spread. You can of course select the application from the stack that you came from but a dedicated cancel action would be nice.

-------------------------------------------------
Desired solution:

Tapping the spread background should cancel the spread and return to the application that was open when right edge gesture was started.
