Attachment: Loadingoverlaylog.txt

Description:
After tapping the "More" icon under the search bar, a loading overlay appears. The user can swipe the homescreen to another page while the categories are loading and even open an app. This causes the "categories overlay" to appear over the app that is open or on the homescreen once the user goes home.

Repro Steps:
1) Updated Buri to Build ID: 20131209004003
2) Tap on the "I'm thinking of..." search bar.
3) Tap on the "More" icon.
4) While the "Loading..." overlay is on the screen, swipe the screen to another page on the homescreen, quickly open any app and observe the behavior.

Actual:
The user can swipe to another page on the homescreen and open an app while the "categories loading overlay" is on the screen. 

Expected:
The user cannot swipe to another screen while more categories are loading.

This is a bug indeed but I think we shouldn't attempt a fix as preventing touch events on a homescreen element is risky. If it doesn't get cleared, the user might find himself with an irresponsive OS. IMO this issue is too minor and not worth the risk.

Cristian, what do you think?

Depending how it is implemented. If this dialog is implemented by ourself instead by means of system alert, why is risky to consume events on that dialog to avoid panning?

Ok, so we can prevent touchmove on the dialog body. Should be quite easy.

No longer relevant. EverythingMe was re-written for vertical homescreen and the issue does not reproduce.
