Cannot close applications in overview with touch
This is an UX bug.
If you have (only) a touch input device, you get a feature loss in the applications overview: You cannot, anymore close the application, because it only shows the blue close X button if you hover over the window. On a touch devuce, you cannot do so.
You only quickly see it when you tap on a window, but this does not help. Sometimes it works to double-tap on the top-right of a window preview, because this is where this button appears, but in reality it does not really work (reliably, at least).
Proposed solution
I have not many ideas.
- You could always show the close X button on a window, but IMHO this would look ugly.
- Maybe introduce some direction/swipe gesture you can use to "delete" applications (e.g. swipe or drag somewhere on a close icon). This UI/UX is kinda known from Android.l
