Definitively a bug, you would expect the list to stop when you reach the top. Having the topmost object halfway down the screen is not something that should happen by default. > > What we might to instead is stopping the original scrolling when the first > list > item is reached, but allowing to overscroll if the list is pulled down again > (after lifting the finger) from there (assuming this is done because the user > cannot reach the first item(s) ).

If the user want to reach the very topmost object it will be a conscious act. Another thing might be a 2-3 second delay that slides the list up again if no action is taken by the user. > > > _______________________________________________ > subsurface mailing list > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface > <http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface> /Jocke
