I still get screwed by apps that require sliding left or right to commit
an action.  For one app, I contacted support to ask how to remove an
item.  Their app incorrectly sizes its window, so the bottom is
truncated, and that's where they put the Remove button, so it is not
visible.  The rep said to slide the item to the left to see a Remove
option.  Simple, but I wouldn't have thought of that since it was a new
feature in a recent version.
