Safari scrolling bug?

[tandersn9]

I've noticed that when in safari if i am to put my finger on the display and scroll left or right I cannot then scroll up or down unless i take my finger off the display and set it down again. I tried doing this on my iPhone and it worked fine.


Anyone else having this problem?

No. Is there one particular site where that's happening or is it everywhere?

It happens pretty much everywhere though I just tried it again and it worked fine seems to kinda be hit or miss.. Hmmm

That's not a bug, it's actually a multi-touch feature. Apple has included it in iPhone OS for as long as I can remember.

What do you mean? Cause it's deffinetly behaving differently than on my iPhone, i'm trying them side by side. I can scroll left right up down with one touch every time.

It's by design. If you are scrolling up/down, it won't go side-to-side and if you're scrolling side-side it wont go up/down. This way, when you're zoomed in on a web page column, you won't drift off your vertical axis (or horizontal when going side to side).

The iPhone/iPod touch does this too.

If you start scrolling at an angle, you'll get 360 degree movement.

Oooo okay yup i just tried that. I must have just never noticed that it was doing that on the iPhone because the display is smaller.

Thanks!
