Description Nicolas Christener 2019-06-03 12:28:34 UTC
Description:
The behavior of a text frame in a presentation in the iOS app is not obvious.

If I (single) tap on an existing string in the frame I'm in "edit mode", the cursor is blinking, no "resize handles" are shown.

If I (single) tap on an empty space in the frame I'm in "move the frame mode", the cursor is not blinking, "resize handles" are shown.

It took me way too long to figure out how I have to interact with the frame in order to get in to one or the other mode.

I suggest to change the behavior like this:
* single tap = "move the frame mode"
* double tap = "edit mode"

This is also how Apple Keynote does it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create/open a presentation in the iOS app
2. Try to change a text in a text frame
3. Try to resize the text frame

Actual Results:
Depending on where a user taps, the behavior is either "edit mode" or "move the frame" mode - this is not intuitive.

Expected Results:
The mode should change based on the amount of finger taps.

E.g:
* single tap = "move the frame mode"
* double tap = "edit mode"



Reproducible: Always

Tested in 4.1.51 (51) looks good to me, I think we can close it as "fixed".

Thanks a lot to the Collabora team!
