Problem with touchscreen in Zotero 7

gafry
Hello, there are several issues with the touchscreen in Zotero 7:
1. It is not possible to zoom in or out on text by pinching and stretching with your fingers.
2. It is not possible to select text without using the tools on the toolbar (because of this, for example, it is not possible to copy text).

    I'm talking about the touchscreen on a Windows tablet.

    It would be great if I could select text on a touchscreen tablet in this way:

    There should be improvements in Zotero 8 beta regarding touchscreen issues. Let us know if you test it.

    Re pinching and squeezing:

    Works for me in PDFs.
    Not in notes though.

    Re selecting by touch:
    For copying text in PDFs I can move the blue pointers but there is no selection highlight and no popup menu with long press.
    In notes, selecting by touch is hit and miss.
    In highlight mode touch selection works well.

    @martynas_b I tested Zotero 8 beta and found the following issues:
    1. The selection mode does not work when you do not use the tools from the toolbars (blue pointers appear, but the text is not selected). This mode also does not work in notes.
    2. As ‘pcinque’ said, zooming in and out does not work in notes.

    Zooming in and out works in PDF.

    @martynas_b Is there a way to fix this in future updates?
