Windows (~touch screen) file selection

[aswarren]

Many users at Midwestern (6-8) experienced a problem selecting a single read file in Chrome. They would make the selection in the widget, and it wouldn't show up in the field. All seemed to be windows users, many seemed to be touchscreen users as well.

This might take someone capable of debugging dojo widgets. Getting such a person on a Windows box seems like a challenge.

We need to be including windows testing ... no reason not to with VirtualBox and freely available VMs from Microsoft for all their browsers.

I was able to make this work by selecting the file once, seeing it wasn't there, going back in, going up to the directory above it, going back down, and selecting the file again.

@chris-c-thomas do you have Windows w/ touch screen?

Doesn’t the chrome development support allow emulation of touchscreen?

Chrome does support this for testing to the extent one is testing with Chrome itself. See https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/device-mode/

For testing other browsers on windows, it seems support varies. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/03b6cd67-f0d2-4fb6-8d07-3ac799993383/how-do-i-emulate-touch-events-without-using-touch-screen-?forum=wpf

Several recommendations on that page and others I searched recommend using http://multitouchvista.codeplex.com/ http://multitouchvista.codeplex.com/ .

@dawenx - I do not. Only desktop and VM on MacOS but @olsonanl is right, it does to an extent.

@dmachi hah your response showed up right as I clicked comment.

Yes, there is. If there's a touch screen, it would be the best option compared to simulation which is an approximation. anyway, i was going through un-assigned issues and wanted to know what kind of dev. environment people have.
