Feb 13, 2015 at 19:19 comment added Jerry101 It would be sad to have to pop open a code block (out of context) to scroll it. Then you mostly can't see the other code blocks and the intervening description text (literate programming style). The example in this Question has 3 code blocks. Not being able to see them together means you need to remember them when trying to read and analyze them.
Feb 13, 2015 at 18:14 comment added Meta Andrew T. Hi Kasra, sorry for commenting on the old post, but it seems since the change to use RecyclerView for question-and-answer, the code block now can be horizontally scrolled without the need to pop-up the code-block. Is this intended? (also, the indicator on the top-right is moving when horizontally scrolled). If it's not intended, then I'll post a bug report.
Oct 22, 2013 at 18:17 comment added Ilari Kajaste The described solution really seems like a bad UX solution. I would think the intuitive behaviour would be that the smaller element takes precedence, because you can always tap-drag outside it to trigger the tab switch. The expanded popup dedicated for the block is still good, though.
Oct 22, 2013 at 18:14 comment added Ilari Kajaste Bug not fixed. I'm using 0.1.50, and the same problem still exists - when tap-dragging at the code block the code block scrolls for a few pixels first, and then the tab switch is triggered. The tapping does cause the block to appear in it's own, scrollable popup, though.
