| Summary | 0016328: Touch mode: Tap-hold selection requires release | ||||
| Description | In touch mode, the user normally has to Tap-hold an item --> context menu appears In MM, the user has to Tap-hold an item, and then release the item before selection is activated. This non-standard behavior leads the user to believe that the tap-hold action isn't working. | ||||

I've tried on my surface and even in system context menu appear after release (also in explorer item is selected after release). |
|
|
It's true that explorer only shows the context menu on release, however: - Most touch-enabled apps e.g. Skype, Groove, Alarms/Clock, Maps, show the context menu on hold. - Apps that don't show the context menu on hold (Explorer / Edge / Photos), gives visual feedback that the tap-hold action was recognized (e.g. in Explorer, the cursor changes to a square; in Edge, the selected URL becomes underlined) I'd prefer the first approach as it's more intuitive, but at a minimum, MM needs to give the user some feedback that the hold action has been initiated. |

Implemented hold indicator |
|
|
Tested 2269. The Hold indicator works to solve the original problem, but it has a couple of implementation problems (related to it being too 'sticky'): 1) If the user tap-drags (e.g. to scroll through a list of albums) --> the hold indicator doesn't go away resulting in it appearing over a different track, and sometimes selecting that different track. 2) If the user taps on an item (e.g. a GenreName or an AlbumName) causing a new view with the Genre or Album to appear, then the hold indicator remains in the new view and doesn't disappear until the user taps elsewhere on the screen. |
