Swipe gestures on a mobile scroller

[J. Landman Gay]

BTW, there appears to be a related bug that got fixed:
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16239>

MouseUp wasn't being sent when a native scroller was active. It looks 
like they fixed that one but forgot to check related swipe mouseUps. 
Hopefully the team can use the same fix again.
