Hello, currently, if you are swiping to the left on an ion-item with an ion-option-button given, the list scrolls vertically. This behaviour is really annoying when trying to show the ion-option-button and reduces the usability. You can see this happening here -\> [http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/ionList/](http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/ionList/) Is there a way to prevent scrolling the content/list while the user swipes on an ion-item? Regards, Bernd ---

I’m also seeing this issue. Like to know if anyone has ideas or work arounds. Perhaps a broadcast to the scroller when ever its swiping, but not sure where exactly look. Thanks. ---

+1 Same issue. There’s several annoying issues with parent containers scrolling/swiping when you only want the child to scroll/swipe. For example, I have no idea how you could do nested ion-slidebox’s, but it would be a very nice feature to have. As it is now, swiping a child slidebox will cause both the inner and outer slides to move. ---

Neil, I Have created a nice directive that allows for left and right slide items in addition to the primary one. I have been wanted to share this with IONIC team for some time now. But I think I need a bit of polishing to do and will be glad to share it. Thanks. ---

efranco, That sounds great, I’d be very interested in seeing that! It’s something I’ve been wanting to implement for a while now but wasn’t really sure where to start. ---

I’ve tested on iOS 8 and it works like a charm! 😊
