Well, it's good to know I'm not alone I guess. ;) I just wish I'd asked earlier, before I spent some hours tracking down the problem. I'd like to think the omission of mouseUp/touchEnd messages was an oversight, since we do get all the other mouse messages.

I haven't tried Paul's workaround. I'm not sure how it could work, since the horizontal scroll of my field is always zero. It doesn't scroll horizontally at all.

The fix should really be in the engine though.

Hi Jacque - I struggled with this for ages on an iOS and android app
earlier in the year (vertical scrolling content with side-to-side
swiping for navigation (a la iCal). After trying a truckload of
different approaches (hacks) I mostly got it to work on iOS (I still
got intermittent failures) and I eventually gave up altogether on
android and used left and right buttons instead. Things might have
improved then but based on your experience it sounds unlikely. Happy
to dig out my hacky iOS code if that helps but engine level fixes
would be better.

scroller handling the vertical scroll of a field. I want to add
swipe gestures to change cards. When swiping, I get a mouseDown,
sporadic mouseMoves (the logging might be interfering, not sure,
but after a couple they stop) and no mouseUp at all.

I tried using touchStart/touchMove/touchEnd instead and the
result is the same. TouchStart always fires, touchMove is iffy,
and touchEnd never happens.

Without the end message I can't calculate the direction. Plain
taps work fine with either set of messages, I do get
mouseUp/touchEnd if it's a tap. It's only swipes that don't
report.

The scroller has its hScroll property set to false if that
matters, as I don't want horizontal scrolling but I do want to
track the touch direction.

The problem has apparently been around for quite some time:

Anyone have a workaround?
