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:

- Create a Github account
- Submit some of these “iPad+mouse” issues to [the “Collabora Online” Github](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues).

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:

- [/r/LibreOffice: “Best interface to learn LibreOffice?”](https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/10bcdco/best_interface_to_learn_libreoffice/j49qzzw/)

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! 😛 )

> 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!
