Long press to open new window sometimes unresponsive in UWP app

Open Jaifroid opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

In the UWP app in Service Worker mode, the ability to open a new tab with long press appears to be broken (opening a new window with right-click or middle-click still works). In the Electron app, the same long-press gesture works fine.

This regression affects only a tiny minority of users, as the feature is only available on a PC or tablet, where another pointing device such as a mouse is usually available (the feature is not supported on Windows Mobile). It may be worth re-working this as part of #278, given that the most sensible use of long press would be to open a preview, and that preview would then include an option to open the previewed page in a new window.

On further investigation, the feature isn't broken, it's just very fiddly to get the long press to register.

This is an issue related to the legacy webview. Can't fix.
