Button size of "..." in "small tablet" or "tablet" split screen mode

When using the margin size of "small tablet" or "tablet" and in split screen mode, the resource which is on the bottom half of the screen displays a button with "..." on the right of the "book panel controls".

This button is quite difficult to hit when configured as explained here. The semicircle that is used to configure panel linking and to move the panel size takes up almost all of the pixels available for the "..." button.

When configured as "phone margins" there is no problem.

Can you provide a screenshot of this? I thought that was something we had already addressed.

I took a screenshot of me clicking the button with a developer option turned on that lets you see exactly where you clicked. As you can see, in theory everything is working correctly and you can click on the button in the middle or even a little to the right and it will still register correctly as a click.

That being said, I can see how it's pretty easy to accidentally hit the split pane control when trying to click this button. Initially we had a larger gap between the two, but it looked pretty awkward (visually) with such a large and seemingly unnecessary gap between the overflow button and the split pane control.

I'll see if there's a way to make it easier to click the overflow button without adding more visual space between the two controls, but no promises. [:)]

Thanks Drew. That blue box certainly corresponds to my experience of using that button - I have to aim slightly to the left of the center of the button instead of at the center of the button.

Just a thought... the semicircle is very large and is incredibly easy to hit (because it is so large). Maintaining all the graphics as they currently are, if you simply extend the available sensitivity of the "..." button all the way to the edge of the semicircle that should take care of things.

BTW, in the new layout apart from this the only other "button" that I have had a hard time hitting at times is the tap to turn the page on the left hand side. It is somewhat common that I tap the left edge and the left menu is briefly activated without actually coming out at all, or that... trying to compensate for this I click slightly too far to the right and just open up the top and bottom bars. It seems like there is less available pixel rows on the left for turning the page than on the right?

Anyway, these are somewhat minor details.
