Problem when selecting a digitized entity with the stylus

[Jipforester]

What is the bug or the crash? What were your expectations and what actually happened?

Hello,

For the past two or three app updates, I've been experiencing a problem using the stylus to digitize. It works when drawing and validating geometry by pressing the green confirm button. However, when I try to select the geometry drawn with the stylus in digitizing mode, it prevents me from selecting it. I can't select it with the stylus in digitzing mode. I have to be in navigation mode to be able to select it In previous versions, it was possible to select an entity with the stylus in digitizing mode. It is more restrictive to have to go back to navigation mode to be able to select the geometry in order to modify it. This worked in previous versions

Thank you in advance for your attention to my problem.

Sincerely,

Steps to reproduce the issue

Open a project in Qfield Press and hold on a digitized geometry with the stylus after digitizing it in the aim to select it

@Jipforester , I can't replicate on my end, long pressing on features do lead to identification on my end. What kind of device do you have?

[Jipforester]

Hello,

I noticed that I can select it with my finger in digitizing mode but not with the stylus. I am using a Samsung s9 fe device with Android 15.

@Jipforester , could we get a video screencast of your issue?

[Jipforester]

@nirvn As you can see in the video, by pressing with the stylus on the geometry that I have just digitized, I cannot select it.

@Jipforester , thanks for the video. If you hold your stylus down on the canvas (i.e. long press), does it identifies the feature?

[Jipforester]

Hello @nirvn,

No, If I hold the stylus down on the canvas (long press), it doesn't identify the feature.

thank you for your help

@Jipforester , if you disable freehand digitizing, is the long press working then?

[Jipforester]

@nirvn, Yes. if I disable freehand digitizing, the long press is working. In previous versions I remember that we could select entities even when they were in freehand digitizing

[Jipforester]

Hello @nirvn,

I would like to know if it's possible to enable long press even when freehand digitizing is enabled, as in previous versions. This made drawing in the field much easier, avoiding the need to regularly disable freehand digitizing and having to use the interface when you want to erase parts of features.

Thank you in advance.
