Hi. It's the first time I saw the new interface, in mediawikiwiki. I can see the summaries, but the bolls do not move at all. Not by clicking on different area, and not by drag and drop. The slider became unusable. Help!
Android 6.0, inner browser, desktop view.
It is not clear what you mean. Revision slider is a tool designed for desktop users not mobile devices, so it is not clear why you're asking for "help". That is probably why it doesn't show up in the normal mobile view. This might require significant work. For it to work in a mobile device they need to change the interface to work with touch (and non-touch) based events and possibly reduce the number of revisions fetched due to smaller screen sizes and generally lower bandwidth.
Even then, it would probably still not work well using the desktop view. Although the older version kind of works, it still has issues, e.g. popups can't appear until clicked because there is no hover in most mobile devices, and having two diffs in a tiny screen makes it hard to read either of them.
This could be a feature request rather than a bug report ...
It might be a good idea to disable it fully on mobile devices, even using the desktop view until they decide if they want to support it.
You are wrong. It works very well in desktop view on mobile devices in the old version. There should not be any difference, because desktop view is the same, doesn't matter if some event is triggered by a mouse or by a touch screen, they are equivalent. Some regression code change in the new version made this.
Thanks for your feedback. We look into it and see what can be done. A college created an issue for that on phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164249
I've compared the "old UI" and the "new UI" on (1) Chrome on an Android 6 phone and (2) Chrome on a Windows 10 Notebook with touch-display.
Outcome: For both UIs (old and new) touch-drag-n-drop does NOT work (I guess it never worked and this is probably limited by the draggable-library we're using) but clicking on the bars WORKS for both versions though it got slightly more difficult with the new UI since the clicking-area got smaller (you have to touch the colored, horizontal lines in order to move the pointers).
So, it looks like browser depended. I work on Android 6, inner browser, and the ood RS always works perfect, d&d and bars.
I change my mind. It does not work by d&d now. But I'm sure it worked earlier.
Someone, help...No. no! Somebody's, LOST IT ALL, For the Evaluative @RE DO PURPOSE.
