Tapping the top edge shows the indicators panel when in fullscreen mode

[Dave Morley]

STEPS:
1. Run a fullscreen application (eg "machines vs machines", Gallery when displaying a photo, camera-app)
2. Tap very close to the top edge (where the indicators bar would be if you were not in fullscreen)

EXPECTED:
The application gets the tap.

ACTUAL:
The indicators panel slides down, getting fully shown/open.

COMMENTS:
When in fullscreen, you can reveal the indicators panel by performing a top-edge swipe. The bug is that even a simple tap near the top edge is enough to reveal it.

Confirmed on rtm on krillin.

When the active/focused application is fullscreen you should be able to get the indicators panel by swiping from the top edge.
But as this video shows, it seems that even a tap (ie, a mini-swipe as no finger is absolutely still) was enough to trigger it.

Hmmm.... or more likely it's the MouseArea we now have to show the indicators on desktops.

Can't reproduce this on RTM. Popey, you absolutely sure you can?
