I’ve managed to track down the problem to the x coordinate of the TextField not being an integer. This seems to be a bug in the UITK. I can reliably reproduce the issue with the following standalone example:
import QtQuick 2.4 import Ubuntu.Components 1.3 Item { TextField { id: textField1 anchors { left: parent.left leftMargin: 50 right: parent.right rightMargin: 50 top: parent.top topMargin: 200 } text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec a diam lectus. Sed sit amet ipsum mauris. Maecenas congue ligula ac quam viverra nec consectetur ante hendrerit. Donec et mollis dolor." } TextField { anchors { left: parent.left leftMargin: 50.1 right: parent.right rightMargin: 50 top: textField1.bottom topMargin: 50 } text: textField1.text } } While the first text field can be scrolled in both directions without problems, the second one cannot be scrolled to the left. I’m going to work around the problem in webbrowser-app, but this should probably be addressed in the UITK ** Also affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu SDK bug tracking, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546346 Title: [touch] No way to go to beginning of URL in address bar Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If there is a long URL in the address bar and I want to edit the URL, I can't do it without a mouse or keyboard! Pressing and dragging to the right moves the carrot with my finger to be end of the URL. So far so good. Doing that same motion but to the left drags the text to the left inside the address bar. Effectively showing my the right side of the URL again! I have no way to go to the beginning, but two ways to get to the end.
