Summary:

Scrolling stops setInterval and setTimeout from initiating.

Steps to Reproduce:

http://staging.10cms.com/iosScrollIssue/
2) Scroll the page down and during scroll (or scroll transition) press the start button.

Expected Results:

setInterval will start after scrolling is finished and the number will increment.

Actual Results:

Although the start function runs, setInterval does not initiate even after the scrolling has finished.

Regression:

Does not occur in iOS 5

Notes:

This also happens with setTimeout.
