Description
Scenerio
You have a slider on your website. When on mobile, you scroll down with your thumb, like you normally do (when you scroll thru website) and then when slider comes into viewport and you want to scroll down, instead of scrolling down, slider gets moved (it thinks you want to slide left) and or some cases it even slides into next slide.
I have tested this against some other slider plugins, but I have to conclusion that swiping is not properly handled by flickity, since when you scroll down it should not detect that you want to swipe right / left.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with a Flickity slider on a mobile device, scrolling vertically as the slider enters the viewport. Trace the swipe handling responsible for moving to the next slide, and verify that vertical page scrolling no longer triggers horizontal slider movement while intentional horizontal swipes still work.
