side stage first-use hint about 3-finger swipe does not stop (Frieza)

[Mathijs Veen]

OS: Ubuntu touch 15.04 OTA-10.1 Stable channel
Device: BQ Aquaris M10 - (Frieza)

As the bug title says: The 3-finger swipe hint to move apps between front- and side-stage, should only be shown once. However on the M10 Aquaris tablet, it is shown every time. It gets a bit annoying.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Do you mean the image in the side stage when it's empty? Can you please attach a screenshot so that we understand what exactly you mean. Thanks

Hi Michael, yes I do. Here is a screenshot just after bringing the systemsettings app from sidestage to mainstage:

happens every time.

I could see that some might not consider this a bug, but in my mind, the empty side-stage should be killed, instead of keep displaying the hint.

I think ogra_ at least agrees :)

cheers

I should add that it also appears when a side-staged app is killed (by swiping up or down in the app carousel).
That seems to me just as odd.

I can find no way to get rid of the empty side stage, and no help/supporting documentation at all.

The screenshot i posted above doesn't really explain a lot. I expired that and did a small vid in which both scenario's are shown.

1. switch an app from sidestage to mainstage -> empty sidestage remains. It should imo dissapear.

2. kill a sidestaged app --> empty sidestage reappears after returning from app carrousel. It should imo dissapear.
