Emoji keyboard scroll snapping is weird

Project Member Reported by shend@chromium.org, May 11 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 68.0.3425.0
OS: ChromeOS Eve

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Tap on a text field to bring up the VK
(2) Switch to Emoji keyset
(3) Try scrolling from left to right and release your finger.

See video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gDGSlOH3u_dkEX5OSgxtDOuQ3G5uopwK/view?usp=sharing

What is the expected result?
A smooth scrolling experience. Releasing the finger shouldn't do anything too weird.

What happens instead?
When the finger is released, it automatically scrolls left/right. I can understand if it scrolls a bit to align the Emojis, but sometimes it scrolls quite far. Makes it quite difficult to use the Emoji keyboard.

Changing components so this can get triaged.

Also a problem on the NewUI.

I think this "page by page" snapping makes sense for touch, but it's quite awkward with mouse.

Basically we followed Android's behavior, and currently finger and mouse are handled identically(maybe they shouldn't be).

(btw, attached video is not about emoji)
Oops yeah I must've uploaded the wrong video :(

Yeah I'm not sure what we should do here. IMO the finger behaviour feels natural but the mouse behaviour feels awkward (because we can't "swipe" or "flick" with mouse). Maybe this is a question for UX?
yeah i think so, let me talk to UX.

My view is that we should disable snapping altogether when using the mouse. I'm guessing this is not much of an issue on android since the use of mouse is so small.
An option would be: if using mouse, disable "swipe" feature, just leave it where it has been dragged to, and maybe also consider drag acceleration.

How does this sound?
SGTM, I think I'd be ok without any drag acceleration when using the mouse,
but perhaps I'd need to try it out.

Is this no longer blocking the right-click to Emoji launch 866627 given P3?
yes, this is not a blocking issue.
