**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.
