Zotero 7 beta - touch

pcinque

Shortcut menus are not displaying when using touch on Surface Pro devices. Right clicking with a mouse brings ups the shortcut menu.

Note that in Zotero 6 I can bring up the shortcut menu by touch.

Zotero 6.0.30 works fine with touch.

Zotero 7 Beta 49: With long press on the touch screen:
Tags area on bottom left displays the shortcut menu
In Info/Tags/Related pane displays the shortcut menu.
In the collections plane a blank shortcut menu is displayed.
In the items pane a blank shortcu menu is displayed.
In the PDF reader a blank shortcut menu is displayed.

Using a mouse connected to the Surface:
Right click works in all panes

Why this matters:
Using shortcut menus to initiate actions
Copying text is a common thing to.

Could you make a screenshot with that blank shortcut menu in PDF reader?

The touch issue I described is still there in beta 77.
I could take a picture of my finger over a blank menu but is that to prove the issue exists?
Zotero 7 is great but the touch issue is annoying.

We aren't sure what you mean by saying that the menu is 'blank', therefore a screenshot would be helpful.

Thanks, we'll try to investigate.

@pcinque: This should be partly fixed in beta 78, and we're working on fixing across the app.

This is working well in the collections pane, item list and item pane. Thanks.

This should now be fixed everywhere. Let us know if you notice problems anywhere else.

So far so good
