Horizontal Scrolling No Longer Functions in the Proton Mail iOS App v7.8.0 #108

Issue Description

For the past few versions of the Proton Mail app for iOS, the horizontal scrolling of email bodies in both portrait and landscape orientation does not work. When attempting to scroll left or right, it treats the scrolling gesture as a swiping gesture to go to the next/previous email (if they exist). Text requiring a scroll-to never appears in viewport unless a pinch gesture shows something for a moment, but sometimes the pinch gestures do not behave as expected (the app does not zoom in/out from the correct location in the body at times).

This occurs with zoomed-in, zoomed-out and no-zoom content in the message body. This occurs following forced quits, a log out/in and reinstalling (phone restarted and phone not restarted before installing again twice).

A quick screen recording is available for secure download if requested.

Current Versions of Software

  • iOS 26.4 (iPhone 17 Pro)
  • Proton Mail for iOS 7.8.0 (7) - 0.162.6

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the current version of Proton Mail for iOS
  2. Select an email that has text that is too wide for the viewport
  3. Attempt to scroll left or right to see overflow text
  4. Notice it treats what should be a scroll event as a swipe to another email event

Attempting to scroll horizontally may result in different behavior if options set do not handle left and right email swipe gestures the same.
