Apologize if this has been asked and answered already, but I've not seen such a response.  I have a Win8.1 system with MLO running nicely in desktop mode.  I'd like to be able to scroll the screen up/down with the flick of my finger, but when I do so, this ends up moving a task rather than just scrolling.  Is there a way to disable drag and drop of tasks, so that I can easily scroll the screen??

I'm also interested because I will have a tablet soon.
Did you try scrolling with 2 fingers in case?

Unfortunately, that did not work either.  Using two fingers the screen did not move, nor did a task drag and drop.  Nothing seems to work, unless there is a configuration setting that allows for touch screen scrolling.

Anyone have a suggestion?

I really want this feature too, I have MLO on a 8 inch tablet Win 8.1  and its really painful without this scroll ability, it doesn't seem to be in MLO at this stage, Andrey, is it hard to add this element as an update?

It seems to be a 4th post on this thread, but it is not displayed.
I've just received my new Dell Venue 11 Pro, and the scroll effectively doesn't work on the touch screen. Worst, it doesn' work neither with the touhpad of the optional keayboard, I have to plug a mouse.

Scrolling with 2 fingers works fine for me on my new Samsung 8.1 laptop. The key is that it's backwards from what you expect so it seems to do nothing -- try going the other direction. There is a whole thread about how to reverse it so it feels normal but we tried it without success so I'm just going to get used to it, and that way I won't get confused when I switch to other systems.
 
Let me know if it works for you. I'm using 4.2.2.2359 Final

It doesn't work on the Dell Venue 11 Pro (windows 8.1)
MLO 2395 (and not 2359, but I suppose you made a mistype)

Hi Lisa, i just tried to scroll the other way on my Dell Venue 8 and it does NOT work. Also tried it on my Surface Pro and it doesn't scroll.  It such a important feature for all touchscreen devices now. It makes using MLO on a tablet running windows impossible without a mouse, which defeats the purpose of a tablet.  Can we request this feature?

Other than that I love MLO!

I may have misspoke… I know I tried it on my touchpad not sure I tried it on the screen itself. I don't have it handy at the moment.

Probably the best thing to do is to get someone who's on the beta group to report it using the JIRA system.

It doesn't work on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2, Surface Pro 3 or ASUS VivoTab Note 8. The only way to scroll is with the scroll bar.
