App version

6.302

Where did you get the app from?

F-Droid

Android version

12 (LineageOS for microG 19.1)

Device model

Fairphone 3

Steps to reproduce
  1. Receive an email with code block with longer length
  2. Try to scroll horizontall
Expected behavior

Can scroll horizontally through code block

Actual behavior

K-9 tries to move to the next email instead.

In this video I tried to move very softly. There is no difference between different levels of swiping force.

(I know an email address is visible in the video, that's okay, it's just an alias and I'll replace it if it gets spam)

Logs

No logs, but I've included an anonymized version of the email I could trigger this on. I dragged this email into Inbox in Thunderbird to be able to confirm the anonymized version still triggers the bug in K-9 Mail but I'm sure you have your own tricks already :)

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue on the stated Android version with an email containing a long code block, then trace the swipe handling and code-block scrolling behavior. Done means horizontal dragging within the code block scrolls its contents without navigating to the next email.
