Fast repeated scrolling with a finger changes direction of the scrolling

[Eivind Mork]

When scrolling on a page with repeated gestures with the finger on the screen, it often changes the direction of the scrolling and scrolls super fast. So if I am far down on a page and scrolls a few times with the finger, it suddenly start to scroll upwards super fast to the top.

It seems like it happens if it lags while scrolling and it misses part of the gesture.

Experienced on an M10 with OTA-10.1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Also available on an aquaris e5 hd near you ;-)

I have reproduced it on my E4.5 also now. But it is not as easy to trigger as on my M10.

it's almost impossible to use the browser on some sites like theverge.com

This bug is really annoying. I get it on my MX5 (15.04, OTA 11) and makes reading things on the internet a frustrating experience.

Nexus 4 mako proposed has this problem too

I had difficulty in producing this bug on my Meizu Mx4 with latest oxide code.
I tried with twitter and theverge.com.
Could you specify exact steps to produce this bug so I can try

I am on rc-proposed, arale (Mx4) and I do believe Santosh is right. So far,
I don't see what I used to on http://m.bbc.com - accelerated scrolls
elsewhere in the page. Whoopeee!

Confirmed this problem on my BQ M10. Scrolling issue is worse in landscape mode.

I have posted a little video on youtube showing the unstable scrolling:

The news site I read was http://www.vg.no

Generally you can see that it is difficult to control the scrolling. On heavy pages especially just small scrolling gestures can trigger fast scrolling. At aroung 01:55 in the video you can see the scrolling happen in the opposite direction. Sometimes this happens a LOT, probably depending on the page you read, but this time it didn't happen at once. Th scrolling is still very difficult, though. Reading this news site I must be very very careful when scrolling not to scroll fast in a (random) direction.

This hasn't been fixed in OTA-12 on my Pro 5, although it may be occur slightly less now.
