Hi Tony,

here are some first expressions for TouchScrolling-tonyg.5:


  *   When scrolling through a PluggableListMorph (e.g., in a system browser) and I move my finger outside of the list before releasing it, the touch gesture will not be ended, i.e., the next mouse (!) move over the list will continue the scrolling. Alternatively, placing the finger over the list will reset the list to its prior position. For PluggableTextMorphs, this problem does not occur for me.
  *   When moving my finger from the list to the text pane of a browser during scrolling, the text in the text pane will be selected. This might be a bug in the mouseDragging/mouseFocus handling of Morphic ...
  *   It would be nice if every scroll gesture had a braking distance similar to what we know from Android/Windows 10 et al. Then again, we might even want to have such a "smooth scrolling" also for mouse wheel events ...

In general, this is a very promising idea. I'm looking forward to meeting this in the Trunk when it's stable. :-)

Best,
Christoph

I meant "touch events" ... sorry for the noise.

Well, if we cannot manage to generate and handle scroll events in such a morph, I would at least flag all related methods with a common symbol so that we can find the involved code later on.

(I consider it a little bit hacky where it is right now^^)

Maybe I get the chance to look at it soon. TrueType is okay-ish at the moment. Locale and LanguageEnvironment bothers me a little bit currently. But almost finished.

Best,
Marcel

Oh, I see. It could perhaps still work if the Squeak timeout were
*shorter* but then it makes scrolling rather difficult! No win
situation. I think your suggestion of being smarter about *available
scroll directions* is a winning idea here, I'm looking forward to having
time to try it out.

Tony
