OK, if you're thinking, well, I got an IPhone/IPod, so maybe I can help,
they're close enough, don't assume that in this case. This problem only
seems to be an issue with an IPad. I've never ever ever! had this happen on
an IPod, nor on an IPhone. Beware.
So here's the deal. I wrote about this a while back, but no one really
commented at all, so I'm gonna try reasking. I have this totally strange
problem where if my IPad is in landscape mode, whether that be the home
button on the left, or right, it doesn't matter, it works totally perfectly,
but if I have it in portrait mode where the home key is at the bottom
center, like normal, whether the rotation is locked, or not, this problem
pops up. Basically, let's say I'm on an adjuster, or maybe a ticker item,
etc. You know how normally to move those, you one finger flick up/down?
Well, if I flick down, to decrament things, or say I'm somewhere and need to
move by the rotor setting, like next heading, next character or word, etc.
it works fine. No problems. If, however, I then go to one finger flick up
on the other hand, Voiceover jumps all over the place! Say I am in a web
site in Safari. I want to move the the prior heading. So I two finger
twist, until I get to headings. That works perfectly. Now, I one finger
flick up, It may jump me 2 or 3 paragraphs up the screen, and land me
halfway through the paragraph it randomly jumps me to. It's almost like
it's taking my one finger flick gesture as me sliding my finger up to a
higher point on the screen to move my focus, rather than it taking it as a
flick/swipe, call it whichever you may, same difference. You say bananas I
say banonnas. Again, I've never ever! had this issue with any of my IPods,
nor any of the IPhone's I've had/used. I've consistently! had this problem
with just about every single IPad I've ever used. It's not a matter that
the screen is dirty, as I've made very very sure it was clean and had no
liquid dammage, or the like. In fact, my IPad is usually in its case, with
a screen protector. Even without the protector or case though, I've had
this issue. If I use a bluetooth keyboard, I neither have the problem with
up/down arrow keys. It seems to only be a touch gesture thing. Without
Voiceover running, my mom has been able with no problem at all to move those
sliders up/down, left/right by sliding them. It only seems to be effective
when Voiceover's turned on. I'm seeing this both in native IPhone apps, as
well as in IPad/Universal apps. When dealing with a native IPhone app, I
have the problem both when in full screen view, as well as when in the small
scaled view. I've tested this both on my IPad which is a 16GB wifi only 3rd
gen new IPad, I O S 6, and also have tried with my mom's IPad, which is a
16GB wifi only 1st Generation I O S 5.1.1. I've had this issue with both
devices almost 99.999 exponent percent the time. Again, if I'm in landscape
mode of any sort, this issue practically never! occurs. It's only seeming
to happen with portrait. I thought maybe it just didn't like the speed, or
position on the screen I was placing my finger when I did the upward flick,
so I tried different places on the screen, as well as different speeds, and
in all cases no matter what, the down flick worked, almost every single
time, but up flicking almost constantly never works.
Have yall got any ideas? This is totally! weird!
