Scroll on mobile pages mistaken for swipe right on certain pages.
Environment: phosh 0.17.0-1pureos1, mobile portrait view, 720x1440, 200% scale, Epiphany 40.2, webkit 2.34.6.
Websites like: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/ukraine-russia/?itid=nb_war-in-ukraine
Steps to repeat:
- find webpage and select links to navigate forward to a page with scrollable content optimized for mobile screen, see link above or similar,
- use touchscreen finger input to scroll up and down on page by swiping up and down,
- observe that but the slightest horizontal movement from left to right while scrolling, it is incorrectly interpreted as a swipe to the right,
In the above case a right swipe exposes a menu panel on the left, for other websites it causes the user to navigate back to a previous webpage.
What it should be doing when the finger is traveling a longer distance vertically than horizontally is to scroll up and down and not swipe left or right (or vice versa).
Notes: on pages like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1761
it is not sensitive to the above issue and functions properly, so its only related to certain web elements or pages that cause this behaviour.
