Scrolling within timeline element description is unreliable

[mnowotnik]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A user should be able to explore both timeline and its elements seamlessly on mobile phone. Currently, it is very easy to scroll entire timeline and hard to scroll timeline element description.

Describe the solution you'd like
Scroll detection in timeline element should be more aggressive. Even if it would collide with normal timeline scrolling, the result would be less bothersome than trying to scroll element description and the accidentally scrolling entire timeline.
Through experience a user could easily learn to scroll entire timeline using parts of screen not reserved for element scrolls.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• creating small descriptions so they don't have to be scrolled to be seen completely
• replacing scroll with buttons that are easier to press, since element descriptions usually do not contain so much text to call for precise scroll widget.

Hi @mnowotnik , I'm encountering a similar issue with scrolling long descriptions on mobile. What was your eventual workaround? You mentioned a button, was that something you used? Thanks!
