Disable right button on long press on touch screen #819

Open dantard opened 1 year ago

dantard commented 1 year ago

Hello, I have an issue with a computer with a touch screen: when I'm about to start drawing but my finger stays in the same spot a bit too long, the OS assumes that I want to use the right click and triggerrs the correspondent OS action. Is it possible to avoid that, even modifying the code? I noticed that in my Wacom tablet, for example, Openboard does not react to long press actions (do not launch the right-click action) and I can maintain the pen still on the tablet for as long as I want and then start writing. The same action on top of another app or the desktop would, instead, trigger the right click action. How does Openboard code manage to ignore such an event and triggering the right click?

I hope my question is clear enough.

Feel free to enter in technical details in the explanation.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

I just checked the behavior on the next version 1.7.0 of OpenBoard and here I cannot reproduce the issue. So if you're lucky, this problem is solved in a few days when 1.7.0 is released.

Please note too that it's a Windows behavior, and it can be disabled in the configuration panel (that's what I do).

I googled the behavior for Linux and here it is even dependent on the desktop environment. So I assume it is nothing OpenBoard can solve, but this problem must be considered together with your specific environment and operating system.
