884883 - preventDefault() on swipe event should prevent scrolling but doesn't

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[eli]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

I have a div element with a custom scrollbar. When the user has their cursor on top of this div and they perform a two-finger vertical swipe on their touchpad it changes the "top" css property of the box and it does a e.preventDefault(); on this event.


Actual results:

The "top" property of the box is changed but the page is scrolled as well.


Expected results:

The "top" property of the box should change and the window should not scroll.

Here is an example: http://www.dyn-web.com/code/scroll/vert.php

Here is another, though you'll probably have to shrink the browser window: http://dotroe.com/subpage.html

I tested this on a macbook pro and have been able to easily reproduce the problem.
