When selecting text it's quite hard to select multiple lines because the page scrolls with the movement of the text handle. It would probably be best to not scroll the page when dragging one of the handles. However if a user tries to select text that overlaps two pages, the view still needs to scroll. Please let me know if I should give more context or attached a picture/video that shows the issue. Thanks, Nicolas
Please explain which Component. And add video. I guess setting Assignee was a mistake.
The component is iOS. Assigning to me is correct. Nicolas is our customer and knows what he is doing;)
I can confirm the problem. Desktop only starts scrolling when you drag the mouse (while adjusting a selection) near the edge of the document view, we probably need to do something similar here.
With the version 0.1 (32) the whole app moves which is a bit annoying as the menu bars and the status bar may move out of the view port and selecting text over two pages seems not to be possible.
Tor Lillqvist committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/online/+/058b68fc3e10161f420eb5951f497a19d078d474%5E%21 tdf#122281: Prevent the WebView from scrolling
The above commit (I mean, the corresponding one in the collabora-online-4 branch) at least prevents the WebView from scrolling. (i.e. the "whole app" as mentioned in comment #4.) This is a one-line change to the Objective-C code. Presumably it should be possible to prevent scrolling also in the JavaScript, but I could not figure out how. But the selection handles are still far from elegant and natural to use. Will keep this bug open.

This issue has been fixed in the iOS app. I think we can close this issue. Thanks a lot to the work of the Collabora team and especially Tor to take care of this and improve the iOS app! @Tor: do you close the issue?
