Abstract

See full text

A method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes, while providing content with the electronic device: displaying a progress icon; detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive surface, movement of the contact, and a pause in movement; after determining positions of two detailed scrubbing boundaries, detecting movement of the contact, including detecting a scrubbing component of movement, wherein the scrubbing component corresponds to an uncompensated scrubbing distance; and, in response: when the uncompensated scrubbing distance corresponds to a position between the two detailed scrubbing boundaries and between two endpoints of a predefined path, moving the progress icon by a distance less than the uncompensated scrubbing distance; and when the uncompensated scrubbing distance corresponds to a position outside the two detailed scrubbing boundaries and between the two endpoints, moving the progress icon by a distance equal to the uncompensated scrubbing distance.
