I played a bit about the new beta, and I found those little issues so far. Still no crashes 🙂

Bug: Long tap inside panel and move, moves parent instead of item

When you long tap and move an item inside a panel (or even inside another panel recursively) the parent panel (the one directly in the desktop) is moved instead of the item. If the ‘auto edit mode’ is selected, the desktop is set into edit mode too.

Behaviour: Long tap item in edit mode

With multi selection enabled, long tapping a deselected item selects it and shows the menu. Ok

With multi selection enabled, long tapping a selected item deselects it and doesn’t show the menu. Not sure if this is intended, specially when you long tap the item with handlers, it gets deselected and then no item have handlers.

With multi selection disabled, long tapping a selected item shows the menu. I found this ok.

With multi selection disabled, long tapping a deselected item, selects it keeping the previous one selected too. Is this intended?

Suggestion: Remove lock icon

Now that we have another item in the bottom tool bar, it starts to become crowded. What about removing the lock button? Personally I think it shouldn’t be there, because it is a ‘click and close’ one, instead of a toggle (or a settings activity one) and need to long click to access it is ok. Also I personally have clicked it by accident. Maybe we should do a poll, in case it is more useful than I thought.

Side suggestion: what about showing one of those ‘tutorial popups’ when locking first time? With “The container is locked and can’t be edited now. Long tap and click unlock to enable editing again” for example.

    Don’t despair, crashes will come sooner or later 😉



    Regarding selection, long tapping to deselect is an attempt at deselecting detached items faster than repeatedly tapping on the item until it comes back to the “no handle” state (and hence, unselected). Maybe this behavior could be different for items attached to the grid, but I am a bit worried about two distinct behaviors. I would like to find a fast way to deselect.



    I confirm that having more than one selected item when MS is disabled is a bug 😉



    Yes the lock icon may not have its place in the bottom edit bar. I’ll think at removing it, and at adding a hint.

    I agree with the lock icon thing its really not needed in the bottom bar.
