Can't scroll in PDFs on touchscreen after update
I've just updated the desktop software to version 7.0.24 (64-bit), and I now have a problem with scrolling in PDFs on my touchscreen device. I used to be able to do this with either my finger or a stylus by swiping within the document, even while the highlight tool was selected. Now this doesn't work: any interaction with the document while highlighting is on just adds highlighting, and any interaction when I have no tool selected selects text. There seem to be only two ways I can scroll, both of which are a pain:
1. Zoom out of the document so I have some space either side of it, deselect the highlight tool and then swipe in the space.
2. Use the scrollbar (difficult to be precise on a touchscreen!)
Selecting hand tool from the View menu (didn't there used to be a shortcut for this within the reader??) seems to do absolutely nothing for touchscreen interactions.
I'm on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 with Windows 11 Home version 24H2.

martynas_bCan you check whether this is still an issue in Zotero 8 beta?

akkeoghUnfortunately so, the behaviour is still exactly as described in the 8 beta.
