I can't believe this is so difficult to fix. I've emailed 2 support areas within Yuneec, but had no answer yet. In the meantime I can't use the trim function that used to work perfectly. Must be something to do with the last software update.
Trim control on the H

I had the same problem. How frustrating! No pad OK/Cancel buttons showing and to make matters worse, no font size option showing! Solution is to Reset the ST16. Go to Pad/Settings/Personal/Backup & Reset/Personal Data/Factory Data Reset. You will loose some things (CCC paths, I think) but not the TH firmware. If worried, you can do the Back up first.

You May try to do a reboot on the s-16 or upgrade firmware. It may go back to factory settings after.

Did the reset and it worked! Had to rebind aircraft and camera, a couple of apps lost, most importantly UAV toolbox so will have to reinstall that.
Tried the trim pad cruise control for the first time today. Could be quite useful for some filming I imagine...
Not sure what the table on the right shows? Forward or backward flying and left or right ?

I wonder about that too. You may be right. That Yuneec uses +/- values for yaw leads me to believe they have done the same for forward/aft, right/left for a trim indicator.
The trim function is very useful for filming. The more you work with it the more you'll like it. When you get comfortable with it you can start playing with altering the direction of flight while in cruise using just the trim tabs.

I have been trying to get "cruise control" to work, literally for weeks and it refuses to work...I press the trim control, press the ok button on the intro screen (while the H is hovering). Then I press the top of the cross control and the values go up...All as expected...But the H just sits there not budging...Reminds me of a stubborn two year old little brat! I am so OCD this is gonna make me nutzo! I thought I was the only one with this problem until I did a search today...Yuneec needs to provide a remedy?
Has anyone made any headway with this since the original post in 2017?!?
If I disappear, it is likely I have been hauled away and deposited in a nice rubber room!

There are 30 incremental steps on the cruise control and it takes several presses before it starts to move. Make sure you are in rabbit mode.

Ok....I pressed it waaaaaay up. Of that I am sure....However, I have never seen it mentioned ANYWHERE (until now by you My Friend) about going to rabbit mode!....So, first thing tomorrow (weather allowing) I will give it another go in bunny wabbit

Now that Steve mentioned it, mine have always been in Rabbit mode when cruise was initiated. Flight speed and direction is controlled through the trim tabs after initiation.

If you 're in turtle mode, you have to go all the way to 30 before it starts to move.

Thanks for amplifying that.
In that video it took 6 minutes of widget reviews before getting to using cruise control. Left out of cruise control “how to” is setting up a curved flight path which can be very useful if shooting arced flight paths using opposing pans. We can modify the direction of flight at any time by tapping on a tab for the desired direction. We don’t have to limit ourselves to only forward, back, right, or left.
With practice you can fly an entire circle using only the trim pads, but it does require practice. Circles are actually better performed using an orbit mode but things like ovals and “S” curves are often useful.

I tested this today, and I bet the problem was your rates slider being set to Turtle. I started off like that today, then hit the D-pad about 15 times, until it 'just' crawled forwards. Then, as I raised the rates slider, it got faster and faster. Interesting that this works after the input !

Cool, I got the cruise to work...Thanks Steve Carr! I didn't try to do much, other than fly it out. Question: can you go to Turtle mode once you have started? And what it the best way to control the flight path?
Here's a video of this mornings flight:
Thanks Again

No need for turtle mode, although it can be used if desired. Just tap the forward or aft button opposite general direction of flight to slow down. Button tap increases or decreases speed after getting things going. The speed slider has less speed precision.
