Pointer Events

In version 7, we introduced 2 ways of detecting pointer-events such as track clicked and thumb drag events.

<ng-scrollbar pointerEventsMethod="viewport | scrollbar">

• pointerEventsMethod="viewport", will detect pointer events using viewport's mousemove, mousedown and mouseleave events.

• pointerEventsMethod="scrollbar", will detect pointer events using scrollbar mousedown event.

In a nutshell, here are the pros and cons of each method:

Appearance ↓	viewport	scrollbar
Standard	Only if both scrollbars appear, the content may overlap under the scrollbar Scrolling over scrollbar works	The content never overlap under the scrollbars Scrolling over scrollbar doesn't work
Compact	Content overlaps under the scrollbar as intended Scrolling over scrollbar works	The content overlaps under the scrollbar as intended Scrolling over scrollbar doesn't work

My recommendation: If scrolling over scrollbar isn't important to you, then go with pointerEventsMethod="scrollbar".
