1. A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display;
displaying on the touch-sensitive display a user interface of an application, the displayed user interface including a plurality of regions that are arranged in multiple hierarchical levels, the plurality of regions including a respective region at a respective hierarchy level, the respective region having two or more child regions at a hierarchy level below the respective hierarchy level;
detecting on the touch-sensitive display a first contact at a first location that corresponds to the respective region and that does not correspond to any of the two or more child regions of the respective region;
in response to detecting the first contact, determining whether the application is configured to process the first contact in conjunction with the respective region;
in accordance with a determination that the application is not configured to process the first contact in conjunction with the respective region;
determining whether the application is configured to process the first contact in conjunction with at least one child region of the two or more child regions of the respective region;
in accordance with a determination that the application is configured to process the first contact in conjunction with at least one child region of the two or more child regions of the respective region;
identifying a respective child region, of the two or more child regions of the respective region, in accordance with positions of the child regions relative to the first location; and

Abstract
A method includes displaying a user interface of an application on a device'"'"'s touch-sensitive display. The user interface includes a plurality of regions, including a respective region at a respective hierarchy level. The respective region has two or more child regions at a hierarchy level below the respective hierarchy level. The method includes detecting a first contact at a location that corresponds to the respective region and that does not correspond to any of the two or more child regions. When the application is configured to process the first contact, not in conjunction with the respective region, but in conjunction with at least one child region of the two or more child regions, the method includes identifying a respective child region in accordance with positions of the child regions relative to the location, and processing the first contact in conjunction with the identified respective child region using the application.
