Description

Target Application

Any

Application Operating System

Windows

Schema Version

1.6

Problem Description

Using a finger/mouse to pan an adaptive card carousel page could be better. If the user presses & holds a page, then drags the page far to the left or right (well past the edge of the control), the carousel can show a completely blank gray area. Letting the finger go snaps the new page in.

Expected Outcome

A preview of the next page should be shown

Actual Outcome

A blank canvas is shown

Research direction

Start by reproducing the swipe behavior on Windows with the supplied Adaptive Card JSON and inspect the carousel control's pan and page-rendering entry points. Confirm that dragging partially toward another page shows a preview rather than a blank gray canvas, while release still snaps to the new page.
