Why iOS scroll disables pointer-events on absolute elements over the scrolling container ? How to fix it?
On iOS, when a container is scrolling, all the absolute elements above it don't receive mouse and touch events. When the scroll stops, touch actions works back on these elements. Do you know a way to fix it ?
Example : test this link on your IOS device (source code is here).
On this example when the list is scrolled, clicking on the "MENU" button makes the scroll stop, but the click event on the menu button isn't triggered, so it feels "buggy" for the user. What could be a simple way to fix this behavior, and trigger the click even if the container is scrolling ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Insight: if the absolute div isn't above the scrolling container, everything works normally.
