Missing "Palm Rejection" for swipes and navigation

(#4092) Bug Open: Needs info mobile ui

Reproduction steps

  1. Enter a "swipe-able" UI pane (channel chat for example)
  2. Lightly touch the screen as a separate input while swiping to the right (to return to the channel list)

Expected behaviour

The app rejects the extra touch and prioritizes the swipe gesture, switching to the channel list

Actual behaviour

The panel begins to swipe, but the extra touch causes it to fail and slide back to the chat view. Incidental touches (eg, from the palm of your thumb while swiping with your thumb) can go unnoticed so it is not clear why the swipe failed.
