We used to be able to slide the time along to a time and see various graph items on the ribbon.

Now only a touch will move the time and it’s rather imprecise. v3.422 updated today

On the main screen, you cannot slide time. This was removed 5+ years ago.

On the compare screen you can slide time,

We can slide time in 4.088. However since v4 release, sliding the time leaves detritus bars at other times.

Hm, I’m also on 4.088 and I don’t se this. For my the line is the same on all graphs.

Do you always see this, or do you do something to tiger this bug?

I can not “slide” time on compare screen in 4.088. I can tap to move the time bar, but sliding sideways does nothing.

I.e. If I hold down my finger and move it, noting happens while it is down. If I put down my finger, slide it sideways (or in any direktion) and release it within less than ca 1 sec, it is treated as a tuch where I lift the finger.

Sliding in the main display slides the time. Fast for horizontal, slow for vertical.

UNLESS you start close to the left edge then, sliding brings out the Places menu. IMO, this is a poor choice as you have to slide almost all the way across the screen to get the Place menu to stick. The hamburger worked perfectly for Places and still does.

Too much needless duplication makes programs bigger and harder to debug and update.

As simple as possible and no simpler!

4.088, different behavior here. Trying to slide anywhere on the graff brings out places.

Not a problem for me since I always slide on the map, mostly up and down which moves the line more slowly.

How is places set under Settings → Advanced Settings: Place Label Options?

Mine is set to Sources.

Didn’t see it on Monday or Tuesday.  
Didn’t happen on the missus’ phone at any time.
