Thanks for the screenshots + more details.

Now it’s easier to compare.

Thank you for the serious reply!

You’re welcome.

Last week, I brought this “iPad+mouse” issue up in the Community Weekly meeting.

Right now, for Android/iOS:

  • Collabora is focusing on the touch interface.

Maybe in a future date, they may handle some:

  • mouse-issues in touch-focused OSes.

Side Note: Android mouse support is a little better, since mouse clicks are:

  • approximately considered like a “finger touch”.

But on iOS, mouse support is much more complicated/arcane, and mouse clicks are:

  • treated completely differently from normal “finger presses”.

This is probably why you’re getting all these weird glitches and unexpected interactions happening.

If you want, it may be a good idea to:

Then we could get them tagged, so:

  • Developers can be aware of these iPad+mouse bugs.
  • In the future, if they do decide to focus on mouse-support-on-mobile, they can more easily find the issues.

Here’s the first Duck search hit, […]

Thanks for the Help links.

I imagine it would be a serious task to update all the docs for all the variations among different hardware, but maybe there could be a note at the top of doc pages to beware of “Compact” versus “Tabbed” views whenever a page refers to menus that move or disappear between different views?

Hmmm… Yes, that’s something to note + think about in documentation.

The Help/Screenshots/Menus typically have to settle on one UI:

  • Tabbed vs. Standard

and Collabora then even has 2 more major versions too:

  • Web/Browser
  • Mobile (Android+iOS)
    • (And even phone vs. tablet!)

While most of the instructions/spots are the same—(or very similar)—each of these OSes has a few little differences too.

Like with LibreOffice, there’s 7 different UIs:

Personally, I write my tutorials + do screenshots using the Standard toolbar… but what if someone was using Tabbed?

(Actually, I’m one of the really weird ones, I do everything using the Sidebar UI instead! :stuck_out_tongue: )

Wish there was a Preview here! Guess I’ll just submit…

Yeah, it’s taking me some time to get used to Discourse as well.

On Desktop, it cuts the screen in 2 halves:

  • Left-Half = Markdown Editor
  • Right-Half = Preview

In the upper-right corner of the “Reply” popup, there’s also 2 buttons:

  • Maximize
  • Close

Pressing the “Maximize” lets me fill up the entire screen for easier typing/previewing!
