I don't understand why the goal isn't replacing components like switches? is it because the input in its nature is not as customizable?

will it behave during touch scrolling like webkit? bsky.app/profile/jant...

@annevk.nl I think <input type=checkbox switch> has an iOS bug: a touch starting on the switch can't scroll the page. the input swallows the touch then toggles on release css touch-action doesn't help and other form controls scroll fine bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi...

No idea yet. That looks like a bug, right? I can check with the team.

There is a swipe behaviour with switch activation so I can see how that happens potentially it needs to be more clever about only doing it when you swipe a specific direction.

Native apps on iOS can handle things just fine, so the web could (and should) do too. bsky.app/profile/bram...

Oh, I see. When testing things in a native iOS app like Settings, you _can_ initiate a scroll when the first tap on the screen happens to be over a switch control. In Safari you can’t :-/ Seems to me like the engine should be able to figure that out all by itself.
