Good find with that bug report.  Thanks for submitting it.

The circumstance I introduced in the chat was something far more common: just scrolling a field, a normal non-editable LC field used to display text.

Doing that without jittery motion and with appropriate scroll-end indication in LiveCode for mobile requires following the steps in this tutorial:

Seems pretty fiddly just to scroll a field.

Makes me wonder how many of us would be using LC if those steps were required to have normal scrolling in our desktop apps when we were first considering this platform.
