Description Acsinte Florin 2015-03-07 08:01:19 UTC 
Using a touchscreen.
In the gnome menu, when showing all the apps installed, you can swipe up or down to move on to the next apps. The swipe needed for this is pretty long (more than 50% on the length of the screen), making it pretty uncomfortable.

I suggest making the swipe a little more finger-friendly.
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2015-03-07 09:15:39 UTC 
It is supposed to be more sensitive based on the velocity of the swipe, but a quick test(*) indeed confirms that this is not working as expected.

(*) using a touchpad rather than a real touch device, but this shouldn't make a difference in this case

Same happens when scrolling with touchpad in applications view to switch workspace.
