tablet pc input service causing issues in moodle
Hi, I am experiencing an issue with Firefox when in edit mode using the open source VLE moodle. When I try to move items on the page it no longer works. To cut a long sorry story short I finally traced this to a firefox upgrade in mid January. The issue first appeared in firefox around mid January, then Palemoon which I also have installed presumably when the same upgrade worked reached Palemoon. If I try this on another browser such as IE or Chrome there is no problem. Through a bit of investigation and a post on the moodle forum I found that the issue could be fixed by turning off the touchscreen service 'tablet pc input service' in services.
I like Firefox, and the ethos behind and would like to keep using it, but at the same time don’t want to have to go into services and disable my touchscreen every time I want to edit in moodle. Is there anything that I can change in firefox settings to fix this or is it a bug that needs to be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
