Unexpected behavior in Bookmode
#1
I've used Bookmode for some time on a single tablet (Samsung Galaxy S7 FE, 12.4") with no problem. Recently, I acquired a second tablet just like the first. Both are running the same Android and MSP versions. All MSP options are set the same on both, and libraries are synced. 

Specific to this issue, for Touch Action settings I have set, on both tablets:
  • Bottom Left Corner = Turn One Page Backward
  • Bottom Center = Turn One Page Forward
  • Bottom Right Corner  = Turn One Page Forward

These page turn settings are to increase the size of the areas for page turn taps. They have always worked as expected when using one tablet, both in Single page mode (portrait), and Bookmode, Alternate Pages (landscape).

Now, when using the two tablets connected via Bluetooth, and both set to Alternate Page Bookmode, the unexpected behavior is as follows:
  • Leader (left) Tablet
    • Bottom Left Corner = Turn Two Pages Backward (as in Two Page Bookmode)
    • Bottom Center = No response
    • Bottom Right Corner  = No Response
  • Follower (right) Tablet
    • Bottom Left Corner = No Response
    • Bottom Center = Turn Two Pages Forward (as in Two Page Bookmode)
    • Bottom Right Corner  = Turn Two Pages Forward (as in Two Page Bookmode)

There is a certain logic to this behavior. But it's not what I want or would expect, based on the Touch Action Settings. The normal page forward (right side of screen) and page backward (left side of screen) work as expected on both tablets. 

I appreciate any help or comments.

I will have to investigate this and get back to you.

This is not a big priority. The method I described was left over from when I only used a single tablet. Using 2 synced tablets in Alternate Page Bookmode, it's usually possible to be more careful about turning pages. (Classical Piano)

In fact, I discovered that setting the lower right and lower left corner actions to "none" extends the right and left action areas lower, into the corner areas. (Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this.) So the settings I was using before are irrelevant.

 That still leaves the unexpected action at bottom center, but that is much less critical.
