Problems with the scroll in the Calendar/Timeline using touch screens (mobile)

[martintaal]

There is a problem while trying to scroll the calendar in a touch screen (tested in Android 5 using latest Chrome version).
While swiping the thumb over an empty area (to scroll up or down), the keydown is fired in the cell and the popup to add a new event is launched. This makes quite difficult navigating through the calendar.
The same happens while trying to do it over an event: the drag and drop event starts instead of scrolling.

In the timeline it happens the same while swiping over an event.

Regards.

Hi, any news regarding this issue?

Thanks and regards

This looks like a valid bug report and the fix looks straightforward. There is no fix yet because seasonal flu intervened, the bug was reassigned and is still queued. We'll likely have it resolved within a couple more days.

Apologies for the delay with this. We've made changes such that, on Touch devices, dragging the body of a calendar or timeline will scroll the view by default, rather than creating or repositioning events.

You can override this behavior via Calendar.canDragCreateEvents and Calendar.canDragEvents.

Please retest with a build dated January 8 or later.

Hi again, I have been testing this topic and now it's better because you cannot break things trying to scroll the calendar. The problem is that is not possible to drag and drop or create events using touch devices (while the scroll works without interferences).
Do you plan to support it?

IMHO the proper behavior to add to the current one would be that long touch in an empty cell, launches the event creation popup for the pressed time, and long touch in an event, start the dragging of it (the drop is when the user stop touching the screen).

We agree that these are nice features and we'll look at adding both in the coming weeks - no fixed ETA for this one, but we'll update here when we have progress.
