Starling update from 2.5 to 2.7 doesn't catch tap around the left/bottom side

[raresn]

We noticed our app doesn't catch touch events on the first ~20 pixels from the bottom, and we checked if we had the latest Startling. We didn't. :) We updated to 2.7 and now the left side doesn't catch touch either. So the only difference is switching the Starling swc from 2.5 to 2.7, and:

• with 2.5 the bottom zone is not clickable
• with 2.7 the left and bottom zones are not clickable.

Any clue what we are missing to have the entire viewport clickable? (the viewport size is correct)

That one should be easier to solve than your last one. :wink:

I introduced these zones so that system gestures — like dragging upwards from the very bottom on iOS or the "back" gesture on Android – don't interfere with user interface elements that are positioned closely to the edge of the screen.

You can deactivate that by calling Starling.current.touchProcessor.discardSystemGestures = false. Alternatively, you can also change the size of those regions anytime via the setSystemGestureMargins() method on the same class.

Smart! :) We resolved this bottom edge problem on ios by adding a black 20 px bar at the bottom of our app, since we have elements right at the very bottom of the screen! :) So now we have a black bar, and on top of that we have elements that need interaction.

The discardSystemGestures = false works! Thanks a lot!
