Bug Description

It seems it is possible to put the app switcher in an odd 'in-between' state through the right combination of taps. To reproduce this, open a few apps and:

1. Swipe from the right to open the app switcher
2. Tap on an app to focus it and immediately tap on it again and hold down - before it comes into focus - don't take your finger off yet
3. Now swiping up or down will dismiss the app
4. After that the switcher will be open but all of the previews will appear closer to the screen. Tapping the screen won't do anything. Interaction can only be restored by swiping from the right again.
