1009660 - [Settings] Buttons get taps accidentally when the user scrolls

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1022956

(Core :: Panning and Zooming, defect)

Description

[Diego Marcos [:dmarcos]]

When scrolling up and down the settings menu I often get accidental taps. To capture the user intent a small delay might be needed before accepting the tap.  This is particularly bad when having options that can be changed without the user noticing. (Look attached videos)

I am pretty sure this is an APZC issue as we often see this with any app and apz scrolling.

What device(s) can you reproduce this on?

It's a problem I've seen in every device. The video is taken on a Nexus 4.

This remains unfixed and it's very frustrating:

1. The user cannot scroll properly.
2. When scrolling checkboxes, sliders and buttons get tapped by accident. In the attached video I'm changing volume settings when trying to scroll.

This should clearly block 2.1 and even 2.0 as well.

I attached a new video using flame and this is the gaia/gecko combo used:

We have a UX decision in bug 1022956 that will change the behavior of the platform. I'm not sure if we're going to use that bug to track the work, or it will be done in a different bug, but I think it makes sense to dupe against that as UX and kats have chimed in there. Let me know if this is incorrect or you don't think it should be a dupe. Thanks!
