Description

From VPT: Running iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4S. In Safari, I'm having trouble tapping the status bar to scroll up on most large articles (for example, United States, Cambodia, Tennis) when in mobile view. When I switch to desktop view, everything is normal. Is this bug? I wasn't sure if this issue was worth a bug report.

I can replicate this on my ios 5 emulator. This is very strange. All I've been
able to work out so far is that it is not javascript related.

So -webkit-overflow-scrolling seems to break scroll to top when click on status bar in ios 5

We introduced this in fb2c09a5ca6b3253e75784a2ae404aabb5f992dd and moved to iphone.css in 3fb78d6c . Easiest thing would be to remove it altogether. Shame though...

Will see if there is anything else we can do to get tap to top functionality back.

I made a MTC for this http://jonrobson.me.uk/development/overflow-scrolling/
Not sure if this is a bug as struggling to find any documentation on it.

Since momentum scrolling is not vital I'm just going drop this
