1170863 - [Aries] Touches on device screen edges are unresponsive

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System::Window Mgmt, defect, P1)

Description

On the Aries (Z3C) device, touches near the edge of the screen are very unresponsive. For example, in the Gmail app, touching buttons near the edges is very difficult.

I suspect that this is an issue with edge gestures, but I don't have any way to verify this.

Etienne, could you take a look at this? I think you have an Aries device.

I'm wondering how does the touch surface compares to the flame since edges are smaller.

There's at least one place where we don't take the dpi into account, working on a patch.
Might not be the only issue though, still investigating.

This is helping a lot.
I still get the odd issue from time to time where taping at the very very edge of the screen will trigger an active state (testing in email) but not open the thread. But I triple checked and we're forwarding all the right events so it's either app or apz related, and far less severe than what we have without this patch.

Alive, I know there's a lot going on, and this will cause a small conflict with the new bootup procedure patch :/ But it's a simple patch and it should actually fix the issue you had with this test file.

I will come back to this once bug 1171235 lands.

I just landed the bootstrap so you may need to rebase. Maybe it will be backout-ed again then I will do.
