touchscreen not properly supported

Open transistorkreis opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

Hi there,

In contrast to Pure Data and Purr Data, I'm not able to use UI elements like sliders, buttons and toggle switches with PlugData and my 4k touchscreen since the touch response is imprecise and not reliable. Please find attached a video demonstrating this by comparing Pure Data (first GUI) with PlugData (second GUI).

My setup: PlugData 0.9.1 Ubuntu Studio 24.04 Dell XPS 13 9310 with built-in touchscreen (3840x2400)
