Event Timeline

@ABorbaWMF On Android 13 and newer, swiping from the edges of the screen counts as a "Back" gesture. Notice that doing this gesture on any other screen does the same thing.

For Year-in-Review, we'd agreed that pressing Back should close it, regardless of which slide you're on. Therefore, this feels like expected behavior.
