[Q] Trackpad does not move diagonally?

---

It seems that the trackpad only moves vertically and horizontally, at least for me. There doesn't seem to be any diagonal movement. This is most apparent when selecting text or playing first person shooters. Is this a limitation of the trackpad?

I don't think it was ever meant to move diagonally.. no trackpad I know moves diagonally..(BB etc)

You sure are observant...

be think the trackpad would get confused if it tracked diagonally. people would complain that there phone isn't scrolling correctly or is selecting the wrong link xD

The trackpad on my 9700 bold scrolls diagonally in the web browser and games, it doesn't in a text box or the app menu. Does yours just not scroll diagonally at all?

It does not scroll diagonally at all. I first noticed it when selecting text in the browser as it only moves side to side and up and down. Same goes for games

Huh. I never noticed that on my BB. Always thought it never scrolls diagonally.
