+## A snap keeps running after the finger
+
+A row with `scroll-snap-type: mandatory` goes on moving once the finger has lifted:
+about 600ms in Chrome, about 700ms in Safari, slowing all the way, so the last 300ms
+cover barely 40px of a 390px box. A press on something outside the row arrives during
+that time and gets its click, in Safari too. What it does to the row depends on the
+engine, because neither plays that movement on the main thread:
+
+| Asked of a row mid-snap           | Chrome                                                                | Safari on iOS               |

+| Smooth `scrollTo`                 | Replaces it until it ends: a short trip gets the snap back, and loses | Not measured                |

+| `overflow: hidden`, held          | Moves nothing, but the snap resumes when it is taken back             | Stops it                    |

+| `display` changed for one layout  | Stops it (see below)                                                  | Stops it (see below)        |
+
+A change undone in the same task reaches nothing in Chrome, whatever the property,
+since the compositor never hears of it: only a `display` change acts that fast. It
+rebuilds the box, and it costs: `display: none` starts every CSS animation and
+transition inside over, `display: block` brings a scroller inside back to its top
+unless what the row holds keeps its size for that layout, and WebKit (desktop, under a
+synthetic wheel) then ignores the next write to the position and loses a scroller's
+own position inside.
+
+On Safari the last three rows were measured with a write following them, and a write
+alone is enough, so they say nothing of their own there.
+
+`scrollend` says little here: in Chrome a write gets one at once, with the row still
+moving. A row moved by other means with its snap left running ends worse than late:
+with a track animated over it, tens of pixels off any slide in Chrome, half a box off
+in Safari, and it stays there. Anything that moves a row on a press has to end the snap
+first.
+
+A box given `overflow: clip` is no scroller until it is given back, and that has its
+own cost: **a touch landing meanwhile starts no scroll in Safari**, even when the page
+gives the scroller back on `pointerdown`, since the scroll view does not exist yet when
+the finger lands. Chrome takes that swipe. Given back, the row stands where it stood
+with nothing written, but for the rest of that task WebKit still starts from 0: a smooth
+scroll to 0 sees nothing to do, and the row stays where it is, off any page. Ask a frame
+later.
+
+Firefox is not in this table: Playwright's synthetic wheel never leaves its row
+mid-snap, so it takes real input, events posted through the OS (`CGEvent` on macOS).
