Bug 174300 – [WK2] Ignore touch events that interrupt platform-driven momentum scrolling

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Wenson Hsieh]

In https://trac.webkit.org/r211197, we decreased the scroll deceleration rate in web content to match the rest of the iOS platform. However, due to the much longer duration of the momentum scrolling phase, many users are tapping during momentum scrolling to stop scroll deceleration -- this, in turn, leads to many unwanted or accidental taps in web content on pages such as images.google.com.

One potential way to resolve this is to prevent touches that interrupt momentum scrolling from propagating DOM touch events.

Would be nice to have a radar number here.

I think "webTouches" and "webTouch" could just be "touches" and "touch".
