Android: resizing UI elements is very hard

I’m finding it very hard to resize Dockers and other UI elements as the interactable area for drag resizing them appears to be one pixel wide. On a high-res tablet it is nearly impossible to hit the right spot.

Is this the case for all Android users or is it perhaps specific to my tablet (Wacom Movinkpad 14 pro)?

I know that there is a resize limit, I think on the left side of my tablet, that’s what I experienced. I mainly set the dockers as tabs.

Me, too. I can’t make the layers docker as tall as I’d like as the target (those tiny dots you press to get the double arrow) engages and then immediately drops.

Tagging @Drawpile for this.

Yes, it’s both too hard to arrange docks when you want to and too easy to do so on accident. Fixing that requires major changes to Krita and/or Qt though.

I heard about and downloaded Drawpile just now. It’ll be fun to draw online with someone else. Thank you for Drawpile.

This is an issue for me on a Samsung Tab. I was sometimes having better luck using a bluetooth mouse to move and resize dockers and toolbars but it’s a hit or miss

Just one wish about Drawpile. Could you please add an “Erase layer” (not delete, there is delete layer, but erase all content in the layer) button/icon and an accompanying shortcut? I use that a lot :smiley: Other than that it has everything I need to draw and paint.

This is off-topic, so I’ll respond in direct messages (same goes for other people wanting to say things about Drawpile, this thread isn’t the place to do it in.)

Glad to see there is a topic about this!

I just got a Xiaomi Pad 7 and trying to resize docker tabs and windows is extremely difficult. I noticed when resizing a floating window docker, that there seems to be a delay before it will resize too (assuming you tapped the right spots), further adding to the difficulty of resizing that one window, because you’ll think you got it wrong.

Resizing the tabbed dockers is a bit better because then there is only one target, but floating window…good luck ever hitting the diagonal resize lol - i don’t think i ever got it to work.
