Bug Description

It's a massive usability issue.

Ubuntu touch is built upon swipes/gestures, the amount of times I've tried to switch application/show the launcher and instead ended up changing song is unreal. It needs to be removed. Either remove it or make it so there is some "padding" around the outside of the album art where it will not change song.

There already are forward and back buttons on the screen anyway so it's quite redundant.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I agree that this is not currently implemented in the best possible way, ideally the swipe would be animated so that you see the next album art sliding in, and it would only be activated once you have reached a certain threshold so that you can then cancel this action by swiping in the reverse direction (like the other swipes gestures in Ubuntu).

This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 1482545, so it is being marked as such.
