1228140 - Homescreen requires a too large swipe to move from first to second page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1221186

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

Description

[Iacopo Benesperi [:iacchi]]

FFOS 2.5 has introduced again two different pages on the homescreen (I fail to understand why bookmarks are on the homescreen instead of inside the browser, but that.s a different matter) and I've just updated my flame to it.

I don't have small hands (compared to almost any woman and part of the men), but despite that a normal swipe with my thumb will not allow me to move from the first page (the one with the apps) to the second (the one with the bookmarks). What it usually happens is that th first page moves to the left halfway through and then bounces back in place. I really have to stretch my thumb a lot or change the phone position in my hand to be able to make a swipe large enough to switch to the second page.
In comparison, if I'm on the second page it only takes a very short swipe (much shorter than the one that doesn't work on the first page) to move back to the first page.

This is either bug 1177842 (rather, caused by, and fixed by backing out) or bug 1221186. I'm going with the latter.
