strange macOS behavior

Running Mela 4.4 in Logic Pro on macOS 13.2 M1. The pill shaped parameters (such as "Intensity") don't allow you to adjust vertically, you need to move horizontally. This is very awkward with the trackpad. I believe this can be better optimized for desktop users.

Fixed in Mela 4.4

**Fixed in Build 129** - Intensity dials' drag gesture behaviour reverted to be consistent with the other dials. i.e. to change the value of the parameter you need to perform a vertical drag gesture.

Hey tristan, thanks for this feedback. This change was actually done in 4.3, based on [this feedback item](https://mela-feedback.nikolozi.com/improvements/p/experiment…). Initially, I had the intensity dials behave the same way as the normal dials, i.e. only respond to vertical. But then, personally, I found I always wanted to drag horizontally, both on iOS and macOS. But this is probably a muscle memory. I'm happy to revisit this change. I'm not happy that it's inconsistent with the other dials. Do you find this new default behaviour awkward on macOS only or on iOS also? Samuel Lindeman as a mac user, do you have thoughts on this?

Nikolozi: On the Mac I found the left/right for adjusting modulation intensity to feel a bit 'weird' and even on touch I do prefer up/down for 'coarse' adjustment and left/right for 'fine' adjustments which becomes second nature after a while up/down for big changes, left/right for fine-tuning etc.

Samuel Lindeman: Sweet, thanks for the feedback.
