Needed: An update to Logos 5 making it "touch" compatible!

With tablets, such as Surface Pro 2, coming out with plenty of horse power to run the full Logos, it is time for Logos to release an update making the program more touch screen friendly.  It would be wise to do this before competitors do so, and keep Logos on the cutting edge.

    Agreed. Actually most of the menu options work quite well with finger tapping. Scrolling by flicking works. The most annoying thing is that selecting text and highlighting by finger don't work. It would be great if that can be fixed. Some toolbar buttons are also too small, such as the up/down arrows and left/right arrows.

    Thanks!

    I use a tablet surface almost exclusively. The main area where I run into problems is on the search results panel ... it never did well with arrowing and swiping is a mess.

    But I'd assume they're going to run into issues concerning uniformity of drivers., since MS has bounced around on its standards. I assume we're talking MS only (L5).

    For example I can't swipe text in an input box or to highlight; the touch driver reserves that for the stylus driver.

    On my touch screen [Win8.1 on HP Spectre x2], I can select text using touch but ONLY in "column" reading mode. If I switch to "Column = None," any efforts at using touch to select turn into "drag and scroll" instead.
