In this case, with a touchscreen on common platforms (Android, iOS), you can fling a page and watch it scroll by, then put your finger down to halt the fling. On Chrome OS, it works this way with 2-finger scrolling flings, and it is a very nice way to seek through long documents. When I was using evince, I noticed that I got the fling, but it wouldn't stop without scrolling a bit (which wasn't very easy, and made me miss the target). I looked into what Gtk+ and libinput were doing and realized that I wasn't getting the finger down events at all. Thanks for thinking about this. It doesn't need to be a scroll event actually, but could be a new or existing touch event (proximity)?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
