AP 1.6.9.81 Unable to press an hold to select tool source using Apple Pencil


Recommended Posts

Using iOS 12, iPad Pro 2nd gen., AP 1.6.9.81. When I use the clone tool, for instance, as I touch the pencil to the screen I immediately get the message “you must press and hold to set a source before trying to clone”.  No matter how long, or how many times, I press and hold the message stays on screen and will not allow me to select a source. I can select a source without problem if I press and hold using my finger. I did not have this problem with AP 1.6.8. I tried setting “touch for gestures only” but that didn’t help. I am able to use the Apple Pencil to select the source if I use the “on screen modifier key”. Hope this is not because of the change in gestures with this version, because I seriously lose accuracy with my finger in the way.

Pretty sure this is a bug (and has been reported several times since 1.6.9 released). 

A workaround is to simply use a finger to select the source, then use pencil as normal. Hopefully this will be remedied in the next release.
