Steps:

  1. Early in guild wars week, go to Guild > Guild Wars > Defense
  2. Place a finger within the large scrollbox (and more specifically within a troop tile)
  3. Move finger left

Expected:
Scroll the scrollbox, bringing other teams into view.

Result:
The scrollbox scrolls and the troop tile is dragged. This is quite weird and unexpected.

Possible solutions:
A) Disable rearranging troops directly on the defense-teams screen.

Players who want to rearrange troops within a defense team will have to hit “edit team” first. This is probably not a common thing to do, so it’s fine if it requires an extra step.

B) Treat horizontal movement as scroll-only and vertical movement as rearrange-only.

The game uses a similar technique on the team-building screen to distinguish scrolling the troops list (vertical finger movement) from dragging a troop card into the team (horizontal finger movement). It works very well there.
