Touch Screen On vs Off

Have a table in an app, that is showing 400 columns by 400 rows.

 

With touch screen mode on this produces an error, Hypercube results too large

Turning touch screen mode off returns the results of the table as expected.

What and why the difference?

Can this be configured, either by setting any limits the same or forcing Touch Screen Mode off?

The touch-screen-mode ON requires a different UI rendering as the OFF mode and it seems that there are some restrictions. Personally I'm not surprised that there are errors by 400 columns which aren't any useful within the UI - with or without touch - because nobody could really work with it. Quite probably it's just to export it for another tool.

I think you have already found the most simple solution by disabling the touch.

Nevertheless I suggest to move this export-job to the script to store the table as csv and/or to consider to transform the data-structure. I assume that the data are a crosstable and such structure could be easily transformed with the crosstable load-prefix.

Thanks for your response @marcus_sommer 

I agree the table in question isn't appropriate and is a step change from a worse position, and before a more suitable solution, but was a highlight for the question.

Was interested in the differences between the 2 modes and any specific limitations as was unaware of any between modes.

I don't know how the rendering of these sites worked but I think the most parts are the same in ON/OFF unless the user interaction layer. The zooming is different and also the ways to access any object and the parts within the objects and here it seems to result in an overflow.
