Bug Description
Drag to close is a great feature in application spread. In user testing it had a great success rate and users understood it and knew how to use it. The problem is the Dash item that's part of the spread but is the only item which cannot be closed. Currently the Dash item drag movement is similar to the movement of the items that actually can be closed.
We want to make Dash drag different from others by restricting the movement while still responding to user's drag.
-------
Desired solution
Use restriction algorithm for dash item so that it moves along the drag but soon starts restricting the movement indicating that it's an item that cannot be closed.
Here is quite nice elastic function that can be used:
function elastic( currentPosition, limit ) {
return limit * ( 1 - Math.pow( ( limit - 1 ) / limit, currentPosition ) )
}
Where:
limit is the highest value that ever can be returned by the function
current position is the value to be limited
It's a bit hard to describe the parameters, therefore I created a prototype that should explain the usage.
Find it from: lp:~willow-team/willow/elasticRestriction
