Scrolling A Video Bar In A Horizontal Bar: Touch Screen Conflict

Question

Using a touch-screen device on a site with a horizontal scroll bar and an embedded video: I find it extremely difficult to scroll the video's time bar. The horizontal scroll bar conflicts. Is there a work-around to this?

Here's a 1 minute video example:

EDIT: This happens on Chrome and Firefox too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dw7qg3w8julfzfk/surface-2.mp4?dl=0

Answer 1

You are using Edge, which is well-known for such problems. I list below the usual advice that is given by Microsoft for such complaints, although do not expect miracles.

• Clear browsing history
  In Microsoft Edge, select Hub > History > Clear all history. Select Browsing history and Cached data and files, and then select Clear.

• Clear all browsing data
  In Microsoft Edge, select Hub > History > Clear all history. Select all the boxes, and then select Clear.

• Repair or reset Microsoft Edge
  Repairing the browser won't affect anything, but resetting will remove history, cookies, and any settings you might have changed. You'll find these options in Settings > Apps > Microsoft Edge > Advanced options.

• Reset Edge the hard way
  Delete the contents of this folder: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe, or for safety just stash them somewhere else. This requires Administrator permission.

• Reset edge to default settings via reinstall
  Open PowerShell as Administrator and execute this command :

  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
  

If no solution can be found within Edge, you could always try another browser. I would recommend using Chrome or Firefox. Chrome is currently the best in multi-threading parallel execution, so might best fit your needs.
