Three-finger drag, tap-to-click unreliable (macOS)

Vectorstyler ignores that operation a lot
I tried to replicate this on a MacMini with Big Sur using an external Magic Trackpad, but it seems to be working here.
I tried both single tap for selection, and three finger tap for pick and drag objects around. Both are working at every attempt.If there is more info on how to replicate this, or if there is a recording of missed taps/drags please let me know.

You should test it on Monterey. In Big Sur the trackpad worked perfectly. I'm willing to bet that Vectorstyler is somehow still affected by the tap-to-click bug Apple introduced in Monterey beta 9 and was presumably fixed in 12.3.

I will do so!
-
@VectorStyler I just tried it on an old Intel MacBook Pro with Big Sur and I can confirm that there are no issues with selecting and moving shapes with the trackpad.
-
@tudor Tested on a Monterey 12.5.1 (just updated). No success so far, I will keep looking for this issue.
-
@VectorStyler Try this:
- Both click-to-tap and three-finger-drag must be enabled.
- Never press on the trackpad, don't use the physical clicks.
- Draw one shape on an artboard, then deselect it.
- Try dragging that shape without selecting it first. Just hover the mouse over it without clicking or tapping, then start dragging with three fingers.
- Deselect the shape by tapping-to-click once on the artboard (again, don't press on the trackpad).
- Repeat the above steps several times: drag>deselect>drag>deselect>...
I have this habit of deselecting all objects by clicking on an empty spot on the artboard. When I do this in Monterey using tap-to-click, I suspect that some of my taps are not registered correctly in VS.
-
@tudor What is the Monterey version used?
-
@VectorStyler the latest one, 12.5.1, and the one before it.
-
@tudor With those exact steps it seems to be replicating. Every now and then a three finger drag is skipped.
Thank you for the precise description
I will try to fix this ASAP.
-
@tudor The three-finger tap issue on Monterey should be fixed in the new build 1.1.054
-
@VectorStyler wow, that was fast! Thank you so much!
-
@tudor Let me know if you still encounter the issue, or any other issue
-
@VectorStyler this morning I tested the new build on an Intel Mac mini and the bug was gone. Now I've just updated VS on an M1 Mac mini and the bug is still present

I will keep the issue open. I assume that the M1 Mac Mini also runs Monterey 12.5.1
-
@VectorStyler yes, both computers are on 12.5.1. Right now I'm using the Intel Mac mini and VS works very well with the trackpad.

Does this problem with the trackpad still present?
