For almost every program on Windows, trying to pan using the touchscreen scrolls. This is a very useful behavior. However, on the LO applications (and Apache OOO as well), it acts like a traditional mouse drag, simply changing the selection.

The only way to scroll through an open document is the little scroll bar on the right of the document's window, however this was designed to be accessed by a mouse/trackpad/trackball. It's a real pain to use by fingertip. Now that Windows 10 on <14" touch screens are the new standard, it would be nice if LibreOffice could distinguish between a swipe gesture to scroll a document up and down and a tap-hold-drag to select text within a document.

Additionally to swiping highlighting instead of scrolling, it is impossible in a spreadsheet to copy a formula by touch into a series of cells with a click and drag, the way you can do in MS Word. This is a pretty big quality-of-life issue with using this program. Please update to include true touchscreen compatibility ASAP.

So while two finger swipe vertical scroll, and <shift> two finger swipe horizontal scroll behaviors are correct with track pad--single finger swipe is not with touch screen panels. Guess that should probably be expected, they are different hw driver and os/DE integration. @Tomaž, Mike K. -- with some generic support for gestures in VCL now for bug 124146, could we possibly support the screen touch scrolling here without the dev overhead of a full implementation of Windows Touch API (WM_TOUCH, WM_GESTURE messaging)[1]? MSDN suggests it is possible [2], and we seem to use some elements already in the gdi/salnativewidgets-luna for Windows builds. =-ref-= [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wintouch/windows-touch-portal [2] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wintouch/improving-the-single-finger-panning-experience Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1903632/comments/12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2019-05-07T04:48:49+00:00 Quikee wrote: That "generic" gesture support was only to transport the events around, but responding to the event is only implemented for some widgets (ComboBox). Also what is needed is the backend support to recognize the gesture and send the event, so we need to implement Windows Touch API.

This is a real shame and something I really hope can be addressed, particularly because android/linx/windows multi-boot cross-over devices have very many uses as advanced field-data collectors ... assuming a viable interface :/ End-user Solutions might look like: 1 - a page-control-scroll-bar to place directly in a LibreBase form !!! :) 2 - customizable width/princedom of the main Libre app-document vertical scrollbar, or at least an 'Extra_Wide' setting to toggle-on for small form factor touch screens...

Quite functional for outdoors and situations where touch screen is not wanting to be touched ... but requires additional external device. 3)BEST SOLUTION = Use the 'jump-to' action of a text/control box when selected to focus that item in center screen : e.g. place long-thin dummy text-boxes alongside real form boxes and have them run as a thin chain down the screen at appropriate sizes> when a dummy box is tapped on that section of the page is focused mid-screen !!! This method seems to work very well :) !!! - but users may need to be instructed as to functionality (ie the control is now neither an easily recognizable scroll-bar nor directly intuitive touch-control. Hopefully this may be of use to somebody also exploring interesting possibilities of linux+libre in data-logging for cultural heritage /field-work, but also suggests another possible developer solution - ie a new function for "push_button_control" = "jump_to_section" ....

Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ever since I upgrade to 20.10 from 20.04, I have been experiencing this issue. There are times when a user might want to scroll their screen by touching their screen. But I can't do this anymore. I want to know what went wrong? What can I do? Any info is appreciated. Note: Currently, I can scroll without in issue in Nautilus. But I can't do the same in Firefox, Tor browser, Libre Office, etc. Except Nautilus, all apps select words on screen whenever I touch my screen to scroll. But we all know, SCROLL ≠ SELECT.
