more info about the strange page scrolling behavior
there is a small arrow left of text (arrow, or page number depending on setup and position of cursor). with touch screen, tapping outside (left) of arrow moves back in text. tapping between arrow and text move forward.
This is unexpected behavior to me. and to make it more complicated, if a mouse is attached, it doesn't matter where clicking happens, left or right of arrow, text moves back.
on right side of window, clicking and tapping, inside or outside of arrow all moves forward in text.
it is the same, in paged or continuous mode.
Is there a reason for this? Why doesn't tapping and clicking, anywhere on left of screen go back in text?
tapping on bottom of screen moves forward in text, but clicking with mouse does nothing. tapping on top of screen brings the controls, but clicking on top of screen does nothing. Is there a reason why clicking doesn't do same as tapping at top and bottom? Do people access the controls so often that the top third of screen is devoted to accessing it? Personally, I would prefer being able to tap or click on top of screen to move back in text. Hot keys and tool bar are available for accessing controls.
All in the spririt of good user experience.
