Yeah **** I can't belive I'm accidentally closing apps for like 3 months because of that. I changed the bug to a feature request. It definitely shouldn't be closing apps when I swipe from right to left if I'm not holding the phone sideways (but the app is locked in landscape). It's debatable what it should do if I am.
Felipe Contreras explained in his blog why it works the way it does.*
(He was the guy that got swipe-to-close squeezed into 1.1)
But yes it's debatable whether the current implementation is ideal, possibly not overall.
Anyway they say they're "fixing" this now....
