Apple Pencil Pro : Squeeze "Tool Palette" doesn't work left handed.
iPad Air M2, Apple Pencil Pro. (Both brand new).
When using the Apple Pencil Pro new feature "Tool Palette when squeezing", it's impossible to register some tap on the palette when it is aligned for a left hand. (The tool will change orientation automatically when it detect that the pen is held in right hand or left hand.) In this situation it doesn't seem to detect at all (or barely) any tap to select the color picker or the option menu.
It work totally fine when in the right hand orientation.
I've added a video that show the problem. (You can see the virtual shadow of the pen. Notice how it does draw directly under the color picker icon. It mean I tap in the right area and it doesn't register.)
Additional notes :
- Both iPad Air M2 and Apple Pencil Pro are brand new. Both are charged. (Pencil is 100%.)
- I was able to reliably reproduce the same problem in iPad OS 17.5
- The problem persist even if I make sure to not touch the screen with my left hand.
- The pencil itself work fine. The pen touch and hover are robust and reliable overall. Only this scenario is an issue. It look like a software problem that can be resolved.
- I also want to stress how this does make a selling point of the new pen totally unusable for left handed consumer. (Other mention of the issues are available on the web.)
