Description

I'm getting some feedback from users involved in a citizen science project about the identify operation, and the fact that to identify all overlapping (or very close) features is needed to do a long press rather than a single touch of the screen. It seems that for most of people is more natural that with a simple touch all overlapping/close features should be identified, while the current behavior could be left as optional fir who prefers it. PS Don't shoot the messenger :)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the identify interaction and its long-press handling in the mobile app, then review how overlapping or nearby features are selected. Done means the single-touch behavior and an optional long-press behavior are clearly defined and implemented for the affected platforms.
