Possibly - it generally works for me, but I have a long history with resistive touchscreens. You need to keep enough pressure for it to be a continuous swipe rather than 2 or more events. The default layout has enough dead space at the sides to start the stroke in, which may help. Alternatively you could add a backspace key to the layout as there is in the terminal keyboard. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
