ePub scrolling mode: prevent or warn before large page jumps

When scrolling up/down while reading a chapter (scrolling reading mode), it is quite easy to trigger the left/right action if not going perfectly vertical up/down. When in the middle of a chapter, this looses the whole progress, potentially jumping tens of pages further or backwards changing to a different chapter.As a heavy Komic user, it happens to me regularly, and it's a pain having to find back my lost progress in the chapter I was reading.Can you look to either make the gesture detection less susceptible to misinterpretation between up/down and left/right gestures? Or as an alternative give a warning that the progress would jump x pages and ask confirmation if it is actually the intended action. You could warn only when in the middle of a chapter, not at the start/end to keep a smooth scrolling experience to scroll multiple chapters further/back.Anything you can do to help unintended chapter jump/progress loss would be very welcome!Thanks.

Would completely disabling chapter switching via scrolling be an acceptable solution? That way, scrolling would only move within the current chapter, and changing chapters would require tapping the left/right borders instead.

I would keep scroll left/right at least when positioned at the very beginning or end of a chapter. When you reach the end of the chapter, swiping right to go the the next is the most natural. While reading a chapter (past the very top), it can be disabled, or have a small « undo chapter change » hover for 10 seconds or confirmation pop-up « are you sure? ». It all works for me 😇

Sorry, I misread your suggestion. Yes, disabling scrolling and replacing by hot borders would be perfect. Thanks.

The option has been added. You can now disable chapter switching via scrolling in each reader preset individually.

From my testing it doesn't need to be perfectly vertical, I can scroll roughly up to about 45° without triggering a chapter change. But I'll look into ways to reduce accidental gestures and make chapter switching harder to trigger unintentionally.
