Hi,
I'm guessing it could be something to do with fixed positioning in CSS, but I don't have access to the source.

As described there isn't enough information to say it's a WCAG non-conformance, but if you can find the root cause it might turn out to be one. I haven't seen that behaviour and don't know what might cause it.

Subject: [WebAIM] Are Screen Scrolling Issues W3C Violations?

Hi,
On Mobile, I encounter issues where the screen doesn't scroll automatically with either TalkBack or VoiceOver. This causes swiping to act inconsistently. What causes this? Is this a W3C violation? Is it a functional issue? If I scroll the screen manually, it's inconvenient, but it works.

Thanks.

Jim
