Hello,

I'm have run into an issue when adding mobile support to a skin I made.

I have a scrollarea with multiple elements (an image and a text) that contains hyperlinks to an external site. On desktop devices everything works flawlessly. However, on mobile devices the links are not responding to taps. My current workaround ist to use a text with a scrollbar, but I would rather have the image to scroll away as well to use all of the available screen space for the text.

I have made a small demo project that shows the bug: https://archlabtransfer.de/pano/testarea/scrollbox_bug/

A supportpackage containing the project files is available via wetransfer: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/aab33d ... e=sendgrid

Is this a bug, or is there some other workaround that let's me scroll the text and the image simultaneously?

Thank you very much in advance,

René

Hi René,

Thanks for bringing up this issue. I hadn't noticed it before.

Hopefully one of the Gnomes will have an answer. I tried a few things but couldn't get it to work once it was in the scroller element.

Hi Guys,
We had to add this one to the list as scrolling text boxes work, but a text box in a scroll area does not.
@René. Thanks for the heads up.
