Describe the issue you are experiencing

It's a long-lasting problem, found years ago. Reported to iOS section but recently I've been redirected to the frontent sub project:

I can confirm the same behavior in HA Application (iOS) as well as in the browser (Safari).

The issue is, that hold action is very sensitive to a finger movement, when attempting to achieve the hold. Initially, I thought it was about any movement. But recently I found, it's related to vertical scroll (maybe because only vertical scroll is triggered on my HA pages). Anyway, when pressing an item for long-press, any little movement of a finger that leads to even slight vertical scrolling of the page (vertical scroll bar appears), interrupts a time after which press should turn into long-press.

It makes it extremely difficult to achieve long-press.

Note, that this vertical scrolling appears even if the page content doesn't overflow (so there is no need for vertical scrolling at all)

Describe the behavior you expected

The long-press should be as usable as in native iOS

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. press card/button which supports hold action
2. before it triggers the hold action, move the finger vertically
3. the hold action will be interrupted

+1 for this ... it's very frustrating to use and a fix would be most welcome! I find myself very often triggering the tap action even though I am trying very hard (too hard!) to long press just perfectly to trigger the hold action.

Confirmed.

Once we lose interest in replying to a dumb bot before devs even look at this. And it will not be the first time over here.
