Thanks a lot for implementing inertia scrolling on mobile devices.
It works great and allows us to create mobile applications which really
look and behave like native apps.

Great job!

No problem.

Along these lines: if anyone wants to test the touch scrolling on a desktop machine, you can us Chrome to do so:

1) Press F12 to bring up the developer toolbar.

2) Press Ctrl-Shift-M to bring up the device toolbar (you can also use the little smartphone/tablet icon on the top-left-hand side of the developer toolbar.

You can now test your application on various device profiles using touch manipulation.

Big second from me too. Makes a massive difference. Also on Mac desktop.

Cool, I didn't know that Apple enabled touch events on Safari for the Mac.

Tim, I sent you a separate email to say that I am experiencing something a little strange on IOS. The touch scrolling works fine, but if I use the vertical scroll bar then revert to touch scrolling, my app appears to lock up and is no longer responsive. Anybody else see this?

Is it repeatable in a little project? Do you have any code that is handling the events?

If you connect to a Mac, you can see what is happening in the Browser using the debug tools. Just like Chrome debugging, but on the iOS browser.

I've already fixed this today. I was uploading a new set of compiled example applications to the web site while doing some "marketing" and found out the issue with the inertia scrolling/scrollbar.  Actually, there's two separate issues: the flipping back and forth between using the scrollbar and the touch scrolling (your issue) and an issue with the viewport scrolling horizontally even though the horizontal scrollbar has not been enabled.

As if by magic!

Tim,

Is this fix likely to come out in an interim 2.06 B6 or not until 2.07? Either way, can you give me a timeframe (or a hot fix) as some of my users are starting ask the question?

Many thanks
Mark
