It works the entire left for me, finger or stylus.

Re: Maemo Browser - Hover Mode
 

Tried all that suggested in this post - thumb, nail, stylus. Actually drained the battery out doing it. Either I'm not getting it or there is some problem with the s/w. How can I eliminate that its not a s/w problem?

I can get the cursor to appear, but then I cant move it anywhere - it just disappears!

@melaniepittam, yes, you need to click on the icon (on the left hand side) to keep it :)

Really took me some sweet time to get this.. thank the heavens for this thread ;)
It does seem that using your finger is a no-no, nail of the thumb/stylus works just fine.

Some effort could maybe be done to make this easier - once you've gotten it you'll get it every time, but getting that first successful sweep..Truly frustrating.

Re: Maemo Browser - Hover Mode
 

maybe this helps:

i found it easier to do with nails/stylus.
i also found that speed matters. if you're too slow, you'll just drag the page to the right (that's what happened to me all the time). it has to be a quick movement.

Hi hopbeat, do you mean click on the cursor icon itself, because when I do that it just disappears! (Sorry if I'm being stupid) lol

Re: Maemo Browser - Hover Mode
 

slide to the right from outside the screen halfway between the speaker and bottom left corner with my left thumb works just fine for me everytime.

Thankyou guys

If you do the swipe you are in "hover" mode, as long as you don't release your finger, everything you move over will be highlighted as if you are hovering over it with a mouse. If you click the arrow before it disappeared, you are in "selection" mode. Now you can release the finger and tap and drag to select or move elements of a website.
