Word long press bug
This has happened on several occasions. Whenever I long press a word, sometimes the page turns halfway and it fails to select the word. Screenshot attached.

It happen often when trying to select a word at the border of the screen.
Sometimes when it occurs, it goes back to a previous selected word , who is sometimes a few pages back, |

I disabled the tap gestures for turning the page, and it doesn't occur anymore.

The current behavior which often causes page turns when selecting words even very close to the center on a wide iPad screen is clearly a bug. Last edited by Jsolomon; 10-14-2016 at 03:01 AM. |

I was the one who asked the tap be widened. I was bring up the menu too often. With the screen either recognizing tap/turn or tap/menu, there really isn't an area of the screen where tap doesn't do something.
Personally, I've always had highlighting problem and that existed in a variety of readers along with Marvin. I find I have to press/hold/wait for it to work as I would like. |

With Marvin 2, sometimes a long press will underline the word, but not bring up the options. This is on iOS 10.0.2.

Same issue here.
I highlight across pages all the time and often have to 'Split' a highlight because trying to slide the highlight over doesn't work. |
