I experimented with this for a while. It is difficult to get working and nearly impossible to get working every time. In other words, when you stick your finger to slide things, you never know if it is going to work or not, pretty much as if you were pressing a button without jitter removal.

Film perforation idea : no ways : / sorry, it's just out of our vision for it ;/

At least make the empty bands at screen edges wider, even if you are not willing to denote them with any graphical elements...

I'm sad that you are having this problems, we will keep studying (not messing the released source) trying to improve this click rate success (for all cases)

You may want to change the way you register a click and introduce a "jitter protection" of a sort. For example, you may want to register a click only if there is no movement 500ms past the UP event.

PS: BTW, I have never been able to invoke Nokia's on-screen finger keyboard. I am always getting a stylus keyboard, even when touching screen with a finger. This may somehow be related to Canola problem described above.
