Description:
Hi,

I was made aware that there exists a "trackpad feature" since iOS 12 [1]. You can either do a two-finger-tap on the iPad on-screen keyboard or a long-press on the space bar. Afterwards, the on-screen keyboard serves as a trackpad to move the cursor in the text. However, this behavior cannot be reproduced/triggered on latest Collabora iOS-App [2] (and browser Version [3], Collabora Online).

Thanks,
Andreas

Steps to Reproduce:
1. double-tap the on-screen iPad keyboard
2. move your fingers to move the cursor

Actual Results:
1. the trackpad appears and the on-screen keyboard fades out
2. the cursor is fixed and cannot be moved

Expected Results:
1. the trackpad appears and the on-screen keyboard fades out
2. the cursor can be moved within the text


Reproducible: Always

Clarification for the "steps to reproduce": It is not a "double-tap", but a regular "two-finger-tap" (not double, just once), as introduced in the bug description.

Hi Andreas, I agree, this feature would be good to have at some point.
