Webkit overflow scrolling touch CSS bug on iPad

I was able to use a known "fix" to force an iOS6 redraw to correct this issue without having to use setTimeout.

$(window).on('orientationchange', function()
{
    var $elem=$('[selector]');
    var orgDisplay=$elem.css('display');
    $elem.css('display','none');
    $elem.get(0).offsetHeight;
    $elem.css('display',orgDisplay);
});

Coming late with a similar, but simpler solution.

var $el = $('.myElementClass');

function setOverflow(){
    $el.css({webkitOverflowScrolling: 'touch', overflow: 'auto'});
}

function resizeHandler(){
    $el.css({webkitOverflowScrolling: 'auto', overflow: 'hidden'});
    setTimeout(setOverflow,10);
}

[EDIT] Watch out, after experimenting (a lot), I found out that display:none declarations will surely break the webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch feature. Never use it on elements (or parents of elements) that are supposed to support touch scrolling.

I am actually having the exact same issue. I have narrowed it down to the fact that it affects DIVs whose content's no longer require scrolling when the orientation is changed.

In your example. The DIV on the right scrolls in landscape, does not NEED to scroll in portrait, but then needs to scroll again. I have tested this when both DIVs (left and right) need to scroll regardless of orientation and its not a problem.

UPDATE:

I actually seem to have fixed this!

The issue appears to be a timing issue. During resize the inner content is not big enough to warrant scrolling on the outer DIV that has overflow. After wasting a day on this, I finally came up with this hack:

<div id="header" style="position:fixed; height:100px">Header</div>
<div id="content" style="overflow: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch">
   <div id="contentInner">
      content that is not long enough to always scroll during different orientations
   </div>
</div>

Here is my logic whenever the page resizes:

   function handleResize()
    {
        var iHeight = $(window).height() - $("#header").height();

        // Height needs to be set, to allow for scrolling - 
        //this is the fixed container that will scroll
        $('#content').height(iHeight - 10);

        // Temporarily blow out the inner content, to FORCE ipad to scroll during resizing
        // This is a timing issue where the inner content is not big enough during resize post orientation to require the outer DIV to scroll
        $('#contentInner').height(1000);

        // Set the heights back to something normal
        // We have to "pause" long enough for the re-orientation resize to finish
        window.setTimeout(delayFix, 10);
}

function delayFix()
{
    var iHeight = $(window).height() - $("#header").height();

    // Inner divs force the outer div to always have at least something to scroll.  This makes the inner DIV always "rubber-band" and prevents
    // the page from scrolling all over the place for no reason.
    // The height of the inner guy needs to be AT LEAST as big as the container and actually a nip bigger to cause the
    // scrollable area to 'rubber band' properly
    $('#contentInner').height(iHeight + 20);

}
