Disabling scrolling by disabled `horzTouchDrag` and `vertTouchDrag` options disables moving crosshair in tracking mode

The horzTouchDrag and vertTouchDrag properties for mobile right now allow for the user to perform touch and drag movements, but as far as I can tell there is no way to allow movements of only the crosshair on mobile. If I disable scrolling, or set the horzTouchDrag and vertTouchDrag to false, I lose the ability to freely move around the crosshair.

Is there any way on a mobile device to still allow for free movement of the crosshair while disabling scrolling for the chart itself?

I think it depends on fixes from #106, so postpone it for now until we’ll fix that issue (I guess it will be right after 3.2).

i need to long press and then drag to move crossHair … but for my use case i want chart scroll to be disabled and i only want to move crosshair

@Rishabh-Streak I think this is by design and we don’t have a plan to change it in the future. It’s just mobile UX which is better (I think so) than like you’ve described (we’ve had exactly the same previously on all our charts and we decided to change it).

it would be great if there was an option where developer could decide if handleScroll is disabled then how crosshair should function… for my use case this was exactly what i wanted and so for my need i modified library code to get this functionality. i do not recommend anyone to use code in production. This is just for reference commit

i wanted to understand what problems were faced because of which above decision were made. As the comment stated in src/gui/pane-widget.ts

// actually we should check what event happened (touch or mouse) // not check current UA to detect “mobile” device const trackCrosshairOnlyAfterLongTap = isMobile;

if touch event were handled separately to the mouse click could it be easier to achieve above functionality ?
