GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703919
Arrows indicating direction to swipe are backwards with "content sticks to fingers" enabled
Last modified: 2013-07-14 13:00:13 UTC
The arrows and animation on the lock screen assume a scrolling-like action in the direction *opposite* of "content sticks to fingers." What happens: 1. I enable "content sticks to fingers." 2. I get the lock screen with the suggestive arrows pointing upward. 3. I swipe upwards, and nothing happens. 4. I swipe downwards (just in an effort to try other things), and the clock screen animates in the opposite direction of my downward swipe. What should happen: 1. I swipe in the direction of the arrows, and the clock screen animates away in the direction of my swipe. I don't think it matters whether the fix switches the direction of arrows/animation or the direction of the expected swipe when I enable "content sticks to fingers." I just want them to match.
The arrow is correct, you're supposed to lift the shield physically up. So what we need to is to reverse the scrolling direction when natural scroll is enabled.
