Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 4, wherein:
the direction-lock termination criteria include a criterion that is met when the first movement starts more than a predetermined distance from a respective edge of the touch-sensitive surface;
an amount of movement of the one or more user interface objects perpendicular to the favored navigation axis is proportional to an amount of movement of the contact toward the respective edge of the touch-sensitive surface; and
the predetermined distance is a distance selected such that movement toward the respective edge of the touch-sensitive surface from a point on the touch-sensitive surface that is less than the predetermined distance from the respective edge of the touch-sensitive surface would not be sufficient to fully display the metadata for the one or more user interface objects on the display.
