Quite functional for outdoors and situations where touch screen is not wanting to be touched ... but requires additional external device. 3)BEST SOLUTION = Use the 'jump-to' action of a text/control box when selected to focus that item in center screen : e.g. place long-thin dummy text-boxes alongside real form boxes and have them run as a thin chain down the screen at appropriate sizes> when a dummy box is tapped on that section of the page is focused mid-screen !!! This method seems to work very well :) !!! - but users may need to be instructed as to functionality (ie the control is now neither an easily recognizable scroll-bar nor directly intuitive touch-control. Hopefully this may be of use to somebody also exploring interesting possibilities of linux+libre in data-logging for cultural heritage/field-work, but also suggests another possible developer solution - ie a new function for "push_button_control" = "jump_to_section" .... THANK YOU LIBREOFFICE - I LOVE YOU :) !!!</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
