Misclicking in the App Launcher closes the App Launcher |
|||||
Issue descriptionVersion: ChromeOS 71.0.3576.0 When you click on black space in the app launcher, it closes the app launcher. This is annoying because I don't always click accurately so, for example, when I press the App Launcher button and want to expand to All Apps, I try to click the small arrow button (which doesn't have a very visible click target) and miss, which causes the whole app list to close. Also, more recently (as of M71?) clicking on the space between apps in the All Apps view closes the launcher as well, so if I fatfinger between the larger app spaces, I'll also end up closing the whole app list. I think clicking the black space should do nothing. It's very disconcerting to accidentally close the app list when I misclick, and seems like a net negative for usability.

I'm going to talk to Sebastian tomorrow about expanding the click zone for opening the launcher, so that we can look into addressing #1. I am implementing a fix for #2 right now!

Fix for #2 landed. I'm going to experiment with possible changes to the touch region for opening the app list from peeking, though I am most in favor of simply opening the app list from peeking to full whenever we receive a tap/click, considering the intentions when clicking the app list in peeking are likely different from the intentions when it is open.

By the way, calamity@, I have had the same issue myself and my quick-fix for it is a mouse-wheel-down over the peeking launcher at any spot The fix will probably take a little longer to look over and make a decision on

@ginko: Thanks! That's a reasonable workaround.
