This is still currently true but I think it'd be hard to do in our current architecture. The tap suppression happens in the browser so we'd have to do a round trip to the renderer to determine if the tap would be inside the current scroller or not. Sahel, can you confirm if that's the case?

Yes it is still the case, but I don't think it an issue since the user still sees some changes in response to the tap (fling being cancelled).

Yeah, I think Tim's thought was we shouldn't cancel the fling (since you tapped on something that wasn't scrolling) and issue a tap instead. Given the complexity - benefit tradeoff today I don't think it's worth pursuing.
