Scroll doesn't work until after screen re-orientation

All,

I’ve got an issue with a scrollable area inside my content area. The scroll doesn’t work until the screen has been resized (i.e. either resizing the browser window or switching the phone to landscape). Once a resizing happens, it works normally – even when put back into portrait.

I made a video of the bug here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=howRij55e9c&feature=youtu.be

My code:

<ion-view title="Story Creation">
  <ion-nav-buttons side="left">
	  <button menu-toggle="left" class="button button-icon icon ion-navicon"></button>
  </ion-nav-buttons>
  <ion-content scroll="false" padding="false">
	  <div class="viewport-background">		  
		  <ion-scroll direction="y" scrollbar-y="true" style="float: left;width:160px; height:275px;">
			  <div ng-repeat="friend in friendList" style="float:left; padding:2px;text-align:center;">
				  <img ng-src="{{friend.ImagePath}}" style="height:80px; width: 80px;;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
				  <br />
				  <span style="font-size: 11px;">{{friend.DisplayName}}</span>
			  </div>
			  <div ng-show="!friendList.length">
				  <em>No authors selected!</em>
			  </div>

		  </ion-scroll>		  
		  <div style="float: right;width:55%">
			  <div style="padding: 15px;">
				  <span>Story Title</span>
				  <input type="text" ng-model="story.Title">
			  </div>
			  <div style="padding: 15px;">
				  <span>Max Words Per Turn?</span>
				  <input type="number" min="5" max="100" ng-model="story.WordLimitPerTurn">
			  </div>
			  <div style="padding: 15px;">
				  <span>Days to respond</span>
				  <input type="number" ng-model="story.TimeLimitToResponse">
			  </div>

		  </div>
		  <br clear="all" />
		  <div class="padding">
			  <img style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;display: block;" src="img/invite-friends-btn.png" ng-click="inviteMore(user)" /><br>
			  <img style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;display: block;" src="img/tell-your-tale-btn.png" ng-click="tellTale(story)" />
		  </div>
	  </div>
  </ion-content>
</ion-view>

Anyone else having this issue? The same happens when I test my application on a low resolution device. If I test it using genymotion or browser everything works fine
