Hi, I'm not crazy about the 'pointer' media query currently in the Media Queries 4 draft. > Typical examples of a ‘fine’ pointing system are a mouse, a track-pad > or a stylus-based touch screen. Finger-based touch screens would > qualify as ‘coarse’. Presumably, touch screens whose Web views operate as pannable, zoomable viewports (like on iOS) are intended to match 'pointer: coarse'. But the user can make very fine-grained touches simply by zooming the viewport. Is such a UA expected to match 'pointer: fine' when zoomed in, and 'pointer: coarse' otherwise? I hope not; I'm not enthusiastic about triggering layout on zoom. If such a UA never matches 'pointer: fine' but only 'pointer: coarse', it's more likely that page authors will use this MQ to make content that behaves poorly when the user is zoomed in. I think we should drop this MQ from the ED. TedReceived on Wednesday, 12 December 2012 17:10:12 UTC
