Roll20 on an Asus Flip (2-in-1 Chromebook w/ Tablet-mode)

Hi all, My first post here- I'm loving Roll20, you are all doing some fantastic work !! My question is about using Chrome OS + Chrome Browser + Touchscreen (Asus C100PA-DB02). This is a combination I haven't found in my searches yet. Roll20 runs like a dream in 'laptop mode' (mouse/keyboard) on my little Chromebook, so the browser and the interface are both just fine.  However, when I try Roll20 in tablet-mode, I get strange results- difficult to pan map, non-intuitive zooming (pinch zooms the page , not the map) and can't seem to click + drag or move tokens at all . I'm content to use Roll20 in laptop mode, of course, but I'd love to rock it on the tablet. I know that 2-1 Chromebooks are pretty new, and this is obviously a pretty minimal user base right now, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyways: Anyone have tips/tricks to get my touchscreen Chromebook to run Roll20 like a champ? Most of the Chrome+Touch-related threads I'm finding suggest just using IE or Firefox... which I won't be able to do on my Chromebook without resorting to shenanigans. Thanks very much!  Keep up the fantastic work, dev team! Nate

Sorry you're having issues with tablet mode and sorry that that really isn't much I can do about, it for now. Since this is a case of new hardware running on new software, there hasn't been much of a chance for us to properly support it yet. Since, you said, regular laptop mode works just fine, I would say stick with that for now, sorry. Maybe in the future as this setup becomes more popular, we will be able to devote more resources to fine-tuning the way it works with the table-top. These are not easy fixes to make, especially when none of the developers have the actual hardware to test with. Thank you for your kind words, and sorry I can't be more helpful. 
Thanks, I appreciate the response and understand the challenges involved.
