[SuperEditor] [iOS] Vertical scrolling occurring during horizontal drag gestures

[jakeett]

Package Version
stable branch

In iOS apps, views containing a Super Editor can be scrolled vertically even when dragging horizontally. Once a horizontal drag gesture is initiated, only movement along the x-axis is consumed, and y-axis movements are ignored until a new drag gesture is started.

@jakeett what's the expected behavior here? Are you saying that when you start dragging horizontally, the editor shouldn't ever move vertically no matter how far up/down you move your finger?

If so, can you please include a video of some other iOS app with a document that behaves the way you describe?

[jakeett]

No sorry, I am saying that horizontal drag gestures should not be mapped to vertical scroll movements. In the video I was trying to demonstrate that when you scroll left/right, then the screen is getting scrolled vertically. Also, when the user initiates a horizontal drag gesture, then all vertical movement is getting ignored.

I have taken some videos with clicks highlighted, hopefully that makes it a bit clearer to see.
