Upstream seems to currently think (as per given code reviews) it's not the right level to do a workaround at, ie. platform should behave correctly or constrain the problematic behavior at a lower level. Although, the debate was still ongoing 3 days ago whether it's a realistic scenario that one holds touch so still that it doesn't generate any events - if it's unlikely enough, a time limit approach could be used when no new touch updates are received for a certain time and a new touch begins. The discussion could probably continue with a new patch set with the time limit approach.

I can switch to the music app when swiping from the right, bring up the launcher from the left and use the indicators from the top. When I am in the music app I can bring up the HUD from the bottom (trying to close the app, since the closing via the unresponsive shell does not work) but the HUD is completely unresponsive. Trying to close the HUD again via swiping down I see the indicators expand behind it and I am able to get input into the expanded indicators behind the HUD, but not the HUD itself.
