Comment 1 for bug 1134491

We need a better algorithm to minimize false switching but this is not a
simple one. The issue here is interpretation of gestures that follow
a diagonal vector and how to distinguish a scroll - select an indicator
menu from a swipe - switch to another menu. It is clearly evident when
using thumbs in a one hand posture, but also when using the index finger in
a two hand posture. When a user performs a diagonal vector slight changes
of the finger movement result in change of mode from switch to select. The
main "protection" we deploy at the moment is
the commit threshold which disables menu switching pass a certain distance,
from the top edge. Obviously this is suboptimal.
