[userbinator]

I thought touch/scroll events were distinguished thus:

Finger down -> finger up = touch

Finger down -> move -> finger up = scroll

How does a scroll get interpreted as a touch? It sounds like a bug to me.

[Twirrim → userbinator]

The ads pop up right underneath your finger in the lag between deciding to scroll and your finger touching the screen to drag. With the page jerking around underneath you that seems to end up being classified as a click rather than a drag, and away you go to whatever piece of crap you really don't care about.

I believe it's because JS is still loading and the scroll isn't registered until it springs to life and sees only a touch.

Pages can override the default interactions using touch event handlers.
