A bug which only affected left-handed users

Verily, some of our brethren (and sistren) be afflicted with a sinister disposition. While the righteous scroll using the thumb of their right hand - as is good and proper - an accurs'd minority swing the other way. Look, you try writing an interesting bug report without sounding like a clanker, OK! I try to optimise my blog as much as possible. It may not look like much, but it has got it…

    So it was turning a scroll into a click, and only lefties tapped to scroll over that element? The article doesn’t actually explain the bug.

      I think it was pretty clear but I do have experience building touch UI. It’s more that a button click was being detected with “touchStart” which made it so that when users accidentally start a scroll gesture with their finger on the button, it automatically triggered the button unintentionally. The proper way to do this would be to detect it with a touchEnd event.
