Hi, Loki@99

maybe I am missing something, but with Edit objects tool selected it is supposed to select those object.

On the surface Pro I am using two fingers to scroll as well as zoom and it is not interfering by selecting anything.

How are you scrolling with finger touch may I ask?
Best regards

Hi Paul,

I scroll the touchscreen with one finger.

As I said in steps to reproduce, you may scroll up and down multiple times to reproduce the issue.

Thank you.

You certainly should be able to reproduce it with this other file.
File_Scroll issue_2.pdf
As usual, In Preferences > Commenting : Uncheck Allow Draw with a Finger Touch

As you can see in following GIF, it immediately causes unintentional object moving when I scroll over the green area
There is no issue if I scroll on the right side without the area highlight.

GIF - Swipe action on touchscreen with one finger

It's reproducible if you select Edit Text tool as well.

GIF - Swipe action on touchscreen with one finger, Edit Text Tool selected

I also noticed an odd behavior if you select the Select page region tool

How to set the scrolling to up and down only? I do not want the documents to move left right by accident. Any way to lock the scroll to up or down only?

Hi,

Did you manage to reproduce the issue with the new file provided ?

After further investigation, I think that implementation of RT#7084: FR: "allow draw with xxx" disabled - inherit exclusive mode from hand tool related to another issue reported here should fix the issue in this topic as well.

It looks like it will also fix the DisableTouchSelect issue reported by @rakunavi.

Thanks for investigating,

Hello, Loki@99

Yes, I have managed to reproduce it with your second sample file. Both with touch, and with the mouse. I will be showing the Dev team the issue shortly.
