Issues with Windows 10 Laptop touchpad with IE 11 and Edge

[roberttrigg]

When using Scrollify on a 2015 Acer Windows 10 Laptop using the touchpad and IE 11 or Edge, the touchpad events are not detected and the browsers default scroll behaviour is used if the overflow setting is set to true. If it is set to false, the site is unusable.

I visited the Scrollify demo site and also a Fullpage.js demo and even hugeinc.com (which has a similar scroll-jacking behaviour). None of these worked on the laptop using IE 11 or Edge but were fine in Chrome.

I have seen this issue reported once on the fullpage.js issues, but it hasn't been picked up as yet. (https://github.com/alvarotrigo/fullPage.js/issues/1879 - the issue is about MS Surface but one comment on this issue mentions Windows Laptops)

Testing in the console, all of Scrollify's methods work, it just doesn't recognise actions on the touchpad.

Thanks for reporting this. Will investigate.

Thanks. Just to update on this - I have now tried the Scrollify website on HP, Lenovo a Dell Windows 10 laptops using the touchpad and they do not have the issue. I don't have access to another Acer laptop otherwise I could see if it was specifically Acer for some reason.

Check my PR. I fixed this behavior in Android Devices. It maybe fix in IE or Edge. https://github.com/lukehaas/Scrollify/pull/223
