Description Alphazo 2011-04-08 15:41:22 UTC 
If I show my Activity panel and then right click I can scroll through the different virtual spaces by going up and and down with my mouse.
Now if I keep the right click and then left click at the same time the scrolling mechanism gets locked and I can, again, scroll up and down by moving the pointer.
However I couldn't find a way to unlock this function. As a result I could no longer use the hot top left corner nor click on Activity. I had to ALT+F2, "r" in order to get gnome-shell.

swipeScroll: Fix click detection

When the user starts swipe scrolling using the right mouse button and
clicks during the scroll action he ends up "stuck" in an undefined state.

Fix that by treating BUTTON_PRESS as click.

SwipeScroll: Only allow starting with the left button

Currently we allow starting swipe-scroll with any mouse button
which is weird from an UI pov and causes inconsistencies with
event handling.
