jquery Animations broken on iOS6.0 while scrolling

[anonymous]

iOS 6 breaks setTimeput and setInterval while scrolling a page. even if it is not scrollable and you only see the iOS "bounce" effects. that stops jQuery animations from work when you scroll the page during a jquery animation. in iOS 6.0 the animation complete callback is NOT fired. this was fixed in iOS 6.1.

the problem was described earlier here but closed: ​http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12620

this is a fix for iOS6.0: ​https://gist.github.com/kTmnh/3798925

Were you proposing that we add those lengthy timer shims to jQuery? We have a policy to never overwrite APIs we don't own. If requestAnimationFrame fixes the issue you could switch to using that for animations, using this plugin: ​http://plugins.jquery.com/requestAnimationFrame/
