1222696 - Too hard to drag homescren icons to another page (scroll drag area too small)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

>> Feature Request Summary:
Too hard to drag homescren icons to another page (scroll drag area too small)

>> Description of feature, or problem to be solved
Using the Z3C foxfooding device with the latest FOTA/OTA installed (build number: eng.naoki.20151007.074137, build identifier 20151023101519).

STR:
1) Scroll to the top of the homescreen
2) Press and hold on an app icon
3) Whilst still holding, drag the icon to the bottom of the screen, to move it to the end of the icon list on the homescreen
4) Repeat, but instead in the opposite direction (dragging from the end of the homescreen icons to near the start)

Expected:
Moving app icons in both directions is "easy" - ie: does not require particular effort to find the drag target that causes the pages to start scrolling past.

Actual:
The app icon needs to be dragged to very close to the bottom of the screen at step #3 (or the top of the screen for step #4) - to the point where it almost feels like it's not going to start scrolling at all.

You're right, we meant to adjust this when checking in edit mode but I guess I forgot...

This seems like a reasonable value to me. Any greater and it becomes difficult/fiddly to place icons in rows near the top/bottom of the screen.
