837931 - Homescreen going crazy on touch events

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 837601

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

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

testing on v1-train as of today

This isn't hard to reproduce, but it's hard to write down solid STR.

Open apps, press HOME, tap icons to launch new ones.  The homescreen will frequently interpret tap gestures as swipes and switch to another page.

Pan around pages for a while.  The homescreen will often switch to the page in the *opposite direction* the user pans.

We just can't be taking regressions like this in core UI.  Something needs to be backed out asap.

These look like the only bugs that touched the homescreen in that range.

STR, seem pretty reliable
 (1) Go to homescreen "start" page
 (2) Swipe to the first page of app icons

(Sometimes this takes you to the e.me screen, unexpectedly.)

 (3) Swipe back to start page
 (4) Swipe back to first page of icons
 (5) Tap FM Radio icon

This executes a page transition to the start page.
