Description
Expected behavior
The home page picker does not dismiss on slight downward gestures.
Actual behavior
The preview screen seems very sensitive to any slight downward gesture. That makes it easy to unintentionally dismiss the screen.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Start the site creation flow (e.g. Choose site > Add button)
- Select the Create WordPress.com site option
- Select a design
- Press Preview
- Make a slight downward gesture
- Notice that the screen is dismissed
The same behavior can be observed in the Page Layout Chooser screen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the gesture in the site creation flow: Choose site > Add, Create WordPress.com site, select a design, then Preview. Compare the Preview screen with the Page Layout Chooser and verify that slight downward gestures no longer dismiss either screen, using the reported Pixel 2 XL and Android 11 setup if available.
