Bug Description

STEPS:
1. Run a fullscreen application (eg "machines vs machines", Gallery when displaying a photo, camera-app)
2. Tap very close to the top edge (where the indicators bar would be if you were not in fullscreen)

EXPECTED:
The application gets the tap.

ACTUAL:
The indicators panel slides down, getting fully shown/open.

COMMENTS:
When in fullscreen, you can reveal the indicators panel by performing a top-edge swipe. The bug is that even a simple tap near the top edge is enough to reveal it.

When the active/focused application is fullscreen you should be able to get the indicators panel by swiping from the top edge.
But as this video shows, it seems that even a tap (ie, a mini-swipe as no finger is absolutely still) was enough to trigger it.

Hmmm.... or more likely it's the MouseArea we now have to show the indicators on desktops.
