Hi David, well said. I'm not discounting that possibility as I stated in
my original message. I will have someone look just to be sure, but the
fact that in some tests I made sure to swipe across the bottom edge,
meaning a way to keep it straight in case, and yet strange things still
happened, leave me to believe that my spacial awareness is enough for
the iPad. However I'm not perfect either and even following the edge, or
a line of tactile dots might not be enough. Who knows.

Hi Raul,
I would suggest having a sighted person observe when you are flicking. Make sure
the screen curtain is off. With the larger real-estate of the iPad, the chances for
user variation increase exponentially. A few various experiments performed over the
years consistently demonstrate that, though blind people believe they are moving
straight, they are veering in a certain direction. When sighted people have their
vision blocked, they do the same thing. The majority of research around this can be
found in O&M spatial awareness and blind people, and some information can be
found be found when searching for information around blind people drawing straight
lines on paper.
If your iPad is not making errors whilst you are touching various places on the
display, I would tend to suspect user spatial awareness error.

Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and have
come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for worry. This
has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is all on the screen I
will just touch the various parts of the screen, just like I do on the iPhone.
However I sometimes like to left/right swipe and this isn't seeming to be
consistent on the iPad. So, I'm wondering if this is normal due to the
different layouts, or if I might have a problem with mine. What happens for
example if I'm toward the top of the screen and I swipe right over and over I
would expect to go across the installed app icons to the right until the next
line is reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even sometimes in
the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like settings. I will select a
category, like General on the left, and then touch the right sid
e of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet the information isn't read
consistently like I think it should when you swipe right. I figured that maybe
it's me who was messing up the swipe and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's
a larger screen. However I've tested this by swiping left to right across the
keyboard dots from the speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has
been in landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think I'm
accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been careful not
to do that when testing this.
Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do with
containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's proving to be a
bit more tedious than with the iPhone.
