Vertical scroll doesn't work on the iPhone 5 with Marvin 3.0
I've installed Marvin 3.0 on my iPhone 5 and enabled vertical scroll. I can say right now that vertical scroll doesn't work on the iPhone 5. If there is anybody on this forum who has an iPhone 5 and is not experiencing this issue I kindly request you reply in this thread and explain to me how you're able to do vertical scrolling on your iPhone 5. Because vertical scroll simply won't work on my iPhone 5.
Everytime I try tapping on the edge I get the Quick Menu bars. I even carefully tried using the very edge of my iPhone 5 and still no vertical scroll and I know vertical scroll works on my iPhone 6S. So something is not right and I'd like to know what's going on why vertical scroll is not working on the iPhone 5. Kris...are you there? I think this needs looking into. Unless you'd like to clarify which devices CANNOT do vertical scrolling if it's an older device. Otherwise I'd say this is a clear bug. Just one bit of further information....the funny thing is autoscroll DOES work. It's manual scrolling that does NOT work on the iPHone 5. |

Just to make sure...are you using an iPhone 5?
Seriously though.... if auto scrolling is working, then manual vertical scroll works as well... perhaps your fingers are doing a slight sideways motion?? |

There is no way I could possibly mistake a tap on the edge of the screen to be anything other than a wish to manually advance using vertical scrolling. So right now I am leaning close to the conclusion this is a bug affecting older devices with Marvin 3.0. I'm still waiting to hear from Kris about this and get his take on it as well as hear anyone using Marvin 3.0 on an iPhone 5 to either confirm my observation or disprove it.

I have an Iphone 4s and vertical scroll works correctly.
try when you are in auto scroll , to turn it off then you keep in manual vertical scroll, there it must work, or something is wrong Last edited by gabaldini; 10-16-2016 at 06:00 AM. |

Something is definitely wrong because I've tried turning autoscroll off and I still can't get vertical scroll to work by tapping the side of the screen. However I can vertical scroll manually with my thumb. But that's not the issue here. The issue is the ability to tap on the side to manually get Marvin to advance the text a certain length allowing me to read new paragraphs of text. What I get instead is the menu bars popping up constantly preventing me from vertical scrolling. Kris has to hear about this and decide if this is fixable or not.

Just to make sure:
Have you gone in to EPUB SETTINGS (from the library view) and scrolled down to the VERTICAL SCROLLING MODE section and ensured "Edge Tapping" is turned on? |

That did the trick!!! Edge tapping was off and that caused vertical scrolling to fail! My suggestion for Kris is to leave the edge tap option enabled by DEFAULT to avoid a problem like this from happening.
