This only happens if pinch-to-reflow is turned on, right?

That's right. I cannot reproduce it if this option is disabled

Pinch to reflow is gone now, so closing WFM.

I've just tested this and the same happens but why would you use a Web browser that way in the first place?


Take your finger off and panning works again. I've never used a touchscreen browser in the way the op describes to start with.


The only other way to zoom is to double tap and by definition you've lifted your finger off the screen. So by disabling pinch to zoom you're not going to come across this problem.

Is this really a bug or by design?
