# Feature description:

In artist view and some others, when long pressing an item such as an album or a song, the phone will vibrate and three round drop targets will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. While I’m sure many find this useful, I find it a little annoying as I often rest my finger on the screen after scrolling and it detects as a long press. The delay seems to be to short!  
Better yet, I’d like to disable that, as I don’t see myself using it. When queuing songs, I’d rather swipe them to the left like it’s possible in some apps (Spotify) and for albums, I just press it to see the different play options.

### Problem solved:

The three drop targets appear when it is not intended

### Brought benefits:

Explained in the above

What version of the app do you use?

Can you make a video reproducing, the long press should not trigger when scrolling.

As already mentioned it only happens when I rest my finger on the screen after scrolling, or when I slow down significantly. But this is something I always do, and other apps do not behave like this.

I did asked you the version you used.

In 10.1 beta there were a Compose issue that I workarounded in most place but maybe not everywhere.

If it occurred before 10.1 betas then it’s something else specific to your device and then I’ll need logs.

I also find that it is still to sensitive even in the latest version. I mad a screen recoding (upload including logs under “splinter-drag”) screen - yes, I am moving things very slowly, but a couple of times I am already moving the slider and still the album gets selected for drag and drop.

Yes it’s what I explained earlier, the workaround is not applied everywhere as not possible waiting for Google fix that should come Wednesday to push 10.1.5 that should fix this.

Beta 2 pushed from a quick test, their fix works so I’ve also removed the previous workaround.

Please update and confirm when it’s validated by Google.
