Holding arrow keys doesn't scroll continuously

[ProxyMotions]

I'm on holiday and I don't have my mouse with me. I want to read but it's such a pain to use the mousepad to scroll. I've gotten accustomed to using the down and up arrow keys on other sites, but it doesn't work here. I can click once and it will scroll, but it won't scroll if I hold it. Is this a bug, or is this just a feature that hasn't been added?

@ProxyMotions Beta or Live?

 

[Teasday]

Reader or the site in general? Which browser?

 

[ProxyMotions]

@teasday @plykiya The problem occurs only on the reader, and I'm using the beta site

 

[Teasday]

@ProxyMotions Again, which browser? Although I'm guessing Chrome

 

[ProxyMotions]

I'm using the avast browser, although it's just a version of chrome. So yes, I'm using chrome.

@Teasday
Yeah. I'm using Chromium 70, and still experiencing it as well.

 

[Teasday]

@siscon Oh yeah I forgot to do something about this one

Hahaha, also (I'm too lazy to create new thread, or maybe I should?) if you're using right-to-left-page mode in reader, and then you tap with your mouse, it will go back to the previous page instead of next page. It will be like that after you're moving the page using the keyboard arrow though.

The page that's considered "next" is determined by the reading direction, so correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds like working as intended. LTR: right side is next and left is previous, RTL: left side is next and right is previous.

Ah, so it's intended feature?
or to make it clearer, this is what you should do to produce what I meant
1. go to the reader
2. change the direction from "left to right" to "right to left"
3. move the page using keyboard arrow
4. now, click the page using mouse/touchpad 's left click
5. if you don't do the step 3, the left click will move to the next page instead of to the previous page (normal)
If I remember it right, in previous version, the left click keeps proceeding to the next page when you're changing the direction to "right to left."

3. Since the direction is now right to left, I'm pressing the left arrow to advance to the next page. Got it.
4. Click on which side of the page? If I click on the left side it advances to the next page as expected, and if I click on the right side it goes back to the previous page as expected.
5. Can't reproduce, clicking on the page moves to the correct direction based on where I click, regardless of whether I pressed an arrow key earlier or not.

@Teasday
Wait.. I'm retarded then. I thought if I clicked on all sides in image, it would proceed to the next page.
Edit: and I just realised that there was a setting for what I wanted. Damn, I'm ashamed now.
Please just ignore this complain.

Oh, no problem, it's a new feature so no wonder if you got confused for a bit.
