Description Nicolas Christener 2019-01-08 20:25:12 UTC
Description:
Select boxes are very hard to use with a finger. They have multiple issues:
* the button to open the list to choose from is quite small
* tap on an item in the list then move the finger moves the whole dialog
* the up/down buttons in the selection are too small to use them with a finger

Apple has a widget called "Pickers" described in their HIG which gives an idea what could work:

Please also see the attachments of this bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a writer document in the iOS app, mark text
2. Open the dialog to edit the paragraph style
3. See e.g. the select box called "Folgevorlage" in the attached screenshot

Actual Results:
It's hard to select items with a finger.

Expected Results:
A user should be able to easily select items with a finger.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

This seems like another difficult feature, but would be good for usability.
Apart from the dialog moving instead of scrolling the list of entries, which is a bug, and should be reported separately.

Version 0.1 (22) brought quite some changes and I created follow up tasks which take those changes into account.
