836668 - [Homescreen] Tapping on an icon swipes the page on non-target devices

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[KM Lee [:rexboy] (inactivate after Sep. 22)]

STR:
1. Tap any icon on homescreen

Expected:
1. Application opened.

Actual:
2. Page swipes.

This bug follows Bug 831656.  I found the "fast gesture" determination breaks on certain devices, which easily generates short touchmove events (e.g. 1px) on a normal tap.  These events are then considered as a "fast gesture", causing the tap become a swipe.  On Unagi this is not a serious problem because we need a relatively large move to trigger touchmove due to hardware limitation.
Since we've suffered this problem on 2 devices, I think it's a wrong behavior which is hardly detected on our target device but need to be corrected.

Hi KM Lee, I have other phone different than Unagi but I cannot reproduce this problem. Could you provide me a video? Thanks a lot

Mass update: Resolve wontfix all issues with legacy homescreens.

As of 2.6 we have a new homescreen and having these issues open is confusing. All issues will block bug 1231115 so we can use that to re-visit any of these if needed.
