+
+## Host Page Requirements
+
+For iframe embedding (Issue #156985), the host page must listen for scroll messages:
+
+```html
+<script>
+ window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
+ if (event.data && event.data.type === 'flutter-scroll') {
+ window.scrollBy(event.data.deltaX, event.data.deltaY);
+ }
+ });
+</script>
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Build engine with changes
+cd /Users/zhongliu/dev/flutter/engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui
+felt build
+
+# Test demo app
+cd /Users/zhongliu/dev/flutter-apps/issue_156985_after
+flutter run -d chrome --local-web-sdk=wasm_release
+
+# Verify:
+# 1. Scroll inside Flutter - parent page should NOT scroll
+# 2. Scroll to boundary - parent page SHOULD scroll
+# 3. Nested scrollables - inner scrolls first, then outer, then parent
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **`postMessage` for cross-origin safety**: Using `postMessage` instead of direct `window.parent.scrollBy()` ensures the solution works for both same-origin and cross-origin iframes.
+
+2. **Two-flag system for nested scrollables**: The `_lastWheelEventAllowedDefault` and `_lastWheelEventHandledByWidget` flags work together to ensure correct behavior with nested scrollables.
+
+3. **Overlay for cross-origin iframes**: Since cross-origin iframes completely isolate events, an overlay is the only way to capture wheel events without breaking iframe functionality.
+
+4. **Don't block touch events**: Touch scrolling uses browser native behavior, so we don't `preventDefault()` on touch to allow smooth scrolling experience.

+# Issue #113196: Mouse Scroll Blocked Over HtmlElementView/Cross-Origin iframe
+
+## Problem Description
+
+When using `HtmlElementView` to embed a cross-origin iframe (e.g., YouTube video, Google Maps, third-party content) inside a Flutter web app, mouse wheel scrolling over the iframe is completely blocked. The user cannot scroll the Flutter page while hovering over the embedded iframe.
+
+### User Experience Impact
+- Users cannot scroll the page when mouse is over embedded content
+- Have to move mouse away from iframe to scroll
+- Makes pages with large embedded iframes very difficult to navigate
+
+### Difference from Other Issues
+- Issue #156985: Flutter IN an iframe, scroll bubbling UP to parent
+- Issue #157435: Touch scroll in embedded mode
+- Issue #113196: Scroll OVER a cross-origin iframe INSIDE Flutter
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+1. **Cross-Origin Isolation**: Cross-origin iframes completely isolate all events due to browser security. Wheel events that occur inside the iframe never reach the parent Flutter page.
+
+2. **Browser Security Model**: When the mouse is over a cross-origin iframe, the browser sends wheel events to the iframe's document, not the parent. The parent document receives nothing.
+
+3. **No Event Forwarding**: Unlike same-origin iframes, cross-origin iframes cannot forward events to the parent due to the Same-Origin Policy.
+
+## Solution
+
+### Transparent Overlay Approach
+
+Add a transparent overlay element on top of the platform view that captures wheel events and forwards them to Flutter:
+
+### Engine Changes (`content_manager.dart`)
+
+```dart
+DomElement _safelyCreatePlatformViewSlot(int viewId, String viewType, String slotName) {
+ return _contents.putIfAbsent(viewId, () {
+ final DomElement wrapper = domDocument.createElement('flt-platform-view')
+ ..id = getPlatformViewDomId(viewId)
+ ..setAttribute('slot', slotName)
+ ..style.position = 'relative'
+ ..style.width = '100%'
+ ..style.height = '100%'
+ ..style.display = 'block';
+
+ // ... create content ...
+
+ // Add transparent overlay to capture wheel events
+ final DomElement wheelOverlay = domDocument.createElement('div')
+ ..style.position = 'absolute'
+ ..style.top = '0'
+ ..style.left = '0'
+ ..style.width = '100%'
+ ..style.height = '100%'
+ ..style.zIndex = '1000'
+ ..style.pointerEvents = 'auto';
+
+ _setupWheelEventForwarding(wheelOverlay, wrapper);
+ wrapper.append(wheelOverlay);
+
+ return wrapper;
+ });
+}
+```
+
+### Wheel Event Forwarding
+
+```dart
+void _setupWheelEventForwarding(DomElement overlay, DomElement wrapper) {
+ overlay.addEventListener(
+ 'wheel',
+ createDomEventListener((DomEvent event) {
+ event.stopPropagation();
+ event.preventDefault();
+
+ // Find flutter-view element
+ DomElement? flutterView = wrapper.parentElement;
+ while (flutterView != null && flutterView.tagName != 'FLUTTER-VIEW') {
+ flutterView = flutterView.parentElement;
+ }
+
+ if (flutterView != null) {
+ // Create and dispatch new wheel event to flutter-view
+ final DomWheelEvent wheelEvent = event as DomWheelEvent;
+ final DomWheelEvent newEvent = createDomWheelEvent(
+ 'wheel',
+ <String, dynamic>{
+ 'bubbles': true,
+ 'cancelable': true,
+ 'clientX': wheelEvent.clientX,
+ 'clientY': wheelEvent.clientY,
+ 'deltaX': wheelEvent.deltaX,
+ 'deltaY': wheelEvent.deltaY,
+ 'deltaMode': wheelEvent.deltaMode,
+ 'buttons': wheelEvent.buttons,
+ },
+ );
+ flutterView.dispatchEvent(newEvent);
+ }
+ }),
+ <String, bool>{'capture': false, 'passive': false}.jsify()!,
+ );
+}
+```
+
+### Click-Through Handling
+
+For clicks and other pointer events, temporarily disable the overlay:
+
+```dart
+void _forwardPointerEventToContent(DomMouseEvent event, DomElement overlay) {
+ // Temporarily hide overlay to allow click-through
+ final String originalPointerEvents = overlay.style.pointerEvents;
+ overlay.style.pointerEvents = 'none';
+
+ // Use microtask to restore after browser dispatches event
+ Future<void>.microtask(() {
+ overlay.style.pointerEvents = originalPointerEvents;
+ });
+}
+```
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/platform_views/content_manager.dart` | Wheel overlay, event forwarding, click-through |
+
+## Trade-offs
+
+| Aspect | Impact |
+|--------|--------|
+| Wheel scrolling | ✅ Works - overlay captures and forwards to Flutter |
+| Click/tap on iframe | ✅ Works - overlay temporarily disables for clicks |
+| Iframe interactivity | ⚠️ Limited - complex interactions inside iframe may not work |
+| Keyboard input | ✅ Works - overlay doesn't capture keyboard events |
+
+## Demo
+
+- **Before Fix**: https://issue-113196-before.web.app
+- **After Fix**: https://issue-113196-after.web.app
+
+## Behavior After Fix
+
+1. ✅ Mouse wheel scrolling over cross-origin iframes scrolls the Flutter page
+2. ✅ Clicking on the iframe content still works (video play, map interaction)
+3. ✅ Flutter scrollables above/below the iframe work normally
+4. ⚠️ Some complex iframe interactions may require clicking first to "focus" the iframe
+
+## Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+1. **CSS `pointer-events: none` on iframe**: Would block all iframe interaction
+2. **iframe sandbox**: Would break iframe functionality
+3. **postMessage coordination**: Requires cooperation from iframe content (not possible for third-party)
+
+The overlay approach is the best balance of scroll functionality and iframe interactivity.

+# Issue #156985: Scroll Events Bubble to Parent Page When Flutter is Embedded in iframe
+
+## Problem Description
+
+When a Flutter web app is embedded in an iframe, scroll events (mouse wheel) inside the Flutter app bubble up to the parent/host page, causing both the Flutter content and the parent page to scroll simultaneously.
+
+### User Experience Impact
+- Users scrolling through Flutter content also inadvertently scroll the parent page
+- Creates a jarring, confusing experience
+- Makes embedded Flutter apps feel broken compared to native iframe content
+
+### Reproduction Steps
+1. Embed a Flutter web app in an iframe on a scrollable HTML page
+2. Scroll inside the Flutter app using mouse wheel
+3. Observe that the parent page also scrolls
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+The issue stems from how browsers handle scroll event propagation:
+
+1. **Native Browser Scroll Chaining**: By default, when an element inside an iframe reaches its scroll boundary, the browser propagates the scroll to the parent document ("scroll chaining")
+
+2. **Flutter's `allowPlatformDefault`**: Flutter uses `event.respond(allowPlatformDefault: true/false)` to control whether the browser should handle scroll events. When a scrollable is at its boundary, it sets `allowPlatformDefault: true`, which allows the browser's native scroll chaining to occur.
+
+3. **Nested Scrollables Problem**: With nested scrollables (e.g., ListView inside SingleChildScrollView), when the inner scrollable hits its boundary, it says "allow platform default". But the outer scrollable might still be able to scroll! The engine was using `|=` to combine responses, so once ANY widget said "allow", it would stay "allow".
+
+## Solution
+
+### Engine Changes (`pointer_binding.dart`)
+
+1. **Always `preventDefault()` in iframes**: When Flutter detects it's running inside an iframe, it always calls `preventDefault()` on wheel events to block native scroll chaining.
+
+2. **New flag `_lastWheelEventHandledByWidget`**: Tracks whether ANY widget explicitly handled the scroll event (responded with `allowPlatformDefault: false`).
+
+3. **Explicit parent scrolling via `postMessage`**: When ALL Flutter scrollables are at their boundaries (no widget handled the event), the engine explicitly scrolls the parent page using `window.parent.postMessage()`.
+
+4. **Iframe detection**: Added `_isEmbeddedInIframe()` method to detect if Flutter is running inside an iframe by checking if `window.parent !== window`.
+
+```dart
+// Key logic in _handleWheelEvent
+final bool isInIframe = _isEmbeddedInIframe();
+if (!_lastWheelEventAllowedDefault || isInIframe) {
+ event.preventDefault(); // Block native scroll chaining
+}
+
+// Only scroll parent when ALL scrollables are at boundary
+final bool shouldScrollParent = isInIframe &&
+ _lastWheelEventAllowedDefault &&
+ !_lastWheelEventHandledByWidget;
+if (shouldScrollParent) {
+ scrollParentWindow(wheelEvent.deltaX, wheelEvent.deltaY);
+}
+```
+
+### Framework Changes (`scrollable.dart`)
+
+Added explicit `respond(allowPlatformDefault: false)` when a scrollable successfully handles a scroll event:
+
+```dart
+void _handlePointerScroll(PointerEvent event) {
+ // ... scroll handling ...
+ if (delta != 0.0 && targetScrollOffset != position.pixels) {
+ position.pointerScroll(delta);
+ // Tell engine this scrollable handled the event
+ scrollEvent.respond(allowPlatformDefault: false);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Engine Changes (`dom.dart`)
+
+Added `scrollParentWindow()` function to scroll the parent page via `postMessage`:
+
+```dart
+void scrollParentWindow(double deltaX, double deltaY) {
+ final JSAny jsMessage = <String, dynamic>{
+ 'type': 'flutter-scroll',
+ 'deltaX': deltaX,
+ 'deltaY': deltaY,
+ }.jsify()!;
+ domWindow.parent._postMessage(jsMessage, '*');
+}
+```
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/pointer_binding.dart` | Iframe detection, preventDefault in iframe, parent scroll via postMessage |
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/dom.dart` | Added `scrollParentWindow()`, `parent` property on DomWindow |
+| `packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/scrollable.dart` | Added `respond(allowPlatformDefault: false)` when scroll handled |
+
+## Host Page Requirements
+
+The host page must listen for `flutter-scroll` messages to receive scroll propagation:
+
+```javascript
+window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
+ if (event.data && event.data.type === 'flutter-scroll') {
+ window.scrollBy(event.data.deltaX, event.data.deltaY);
+ }
+});
+```
+
+## Demo
+
+- **Before Fix**: https://issue-156985-before.web.app
+- **After Fix**: https://issue-156985-after.web.app
+
+## Behavior After Fix
+
+1. ✅ Scrolling inside Flutter iframe does NOT scroll parent page
+2. ✅ When Flutter content reaches boundary, parent page scrolls
+3. ✅ Nested scrollables work correctly - outer scrollable handles event before parent page
+4. ✅ Works with both same-origin and cross-origin iframes

+# Issue #157435: Touch Scroll Not Propagating to Host Page (Embedded Mode)
+
+## Problem Description
+
+When a Flutter web app is embedded in a host page using multi-view/custom element embedding (not iframe), touch scrolling inside the Flutter view does not propagate to the host page when the Flutter content reaches its scroll boundary.
+
+### User Experience Impact
+- On mobile devices, users cannot scroll the host page by swiping on the Flutter embedded view
+- Touch scrolling feels "stuck" at Flutter content boundaries
+- Poor mobile UX for embedded Flutter content
+
+### Difference from Issue #156985
+- Issue #156985 is about **mouse wheel** scrolling in **iframe** embedding
+- Issue #157435 is about **touch** scrolling in **custom element** embedding
+- Both require scroll propagation to parent, but through different mechanisms
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+1. **`touch-action: none`**: Flutter sets `touch-action: none` on the host element to ensure Flutter receives all touch events for gesture recognition.
+
+2. **`preventDefault()` on pointerdown**: The engine was calling `preventDefault()` on ALL pointerdown events, which prevents the browser from initiating native touch scrolling.
+
+3. **No touch scroll propagation mechanism**: Unlike wheel events, there was no way for Flutter to propagate touch scroll deltas to the host page when at boundary.
+
+## Solution
+
+### Engine Changes (`pointer_binding.dart`)
+
+**Don't `preventDefault()` for touch events on pointerdown**:
+
+```dart
+// In pointerdown handler
+if (event.pointerType != 'touch') {
+ event.preventDefault();
+}
+// Touch events: let browser handle scroll initiation
+```
+
+This allows the browser's touch scrolling to work, while Flutter still handles touch events first via `touch-action: none`.
+
+### Framework Changes (`scroll_position_with_single_context.dart`)
+
+Added touch scroll propagation via platform channel:
+
+```dart
+static const BasicMessageChannel<Object?> _scrollChannel =
+ BasicMessageChannel<Object?>('flutter/scroll', JSONMessageCodec());
+
+@override
+void applyUserOffset(double delta) {
+ // Check if at boundary before applying scroll
+ final bool wasAtMin = pixels <= minScrollExtent;
+ final bool wasAtMax = pixels >= maxScrollExtent;
+
+ // Apply the scroll
+ setPixels(pixels - physics.applyPhysicsToUserOffset(this, delta));
+
+ // On web, propagate to parent when at boundary
+ if (kIsWeb) {
+ final bool shouldPropagateDown = delta < 0 && (wasAtMax || pixels >= maxScrollExtent);
+ final bool shouldPropagateUp = delta > 0 && (wasAtMin || pixels <= minScrollExtent);
+
+ if (shouldPropagateDown || shouldPropagateUp) {
+ _propagateOverscrollToParent(delta);
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Engine Changes (`platform_dispatcher.dart`)
+
+Added handler for `flutter/scroll` platform channel:
+
+```dart
+case 'flutter/scroll':
+ final dynamic decoded = messageCodec.decodeMessage(data);
+ if (decoded is Map) {
+ final double deltaX = (decoded['deltaX'] as num?)?.toDouble() ?? 0.0;
+ final double deltaY = (decoded['deltaY'] as num?)?.toDouble() ?? 0.0;
+ scrollParentWindow(deltaX, deltaY);
+ replyToPlatformMessage(callback, messageCodec.encodeMessage(true));
+ }
+ return;
+```
+
+### CSS Changes (Embedding Strategies)
+
+Added `overscroll-behavior: contain` to prevent any residual scroll chaining:
+
+```dart
+// In custom_element_embedding_strategy.dart & full_page_embedding_strategy.dart
+setElementStyle(rootElement, 'overscroll-behavior', 'contain');
+```
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/pointer_binding.dart` | Don't preventDefault on touch pointerdown |
+| `packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/scroll_position_with_single_context.dart` | Touch scroll propagation via platform channel |
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/platform_dispatcher.dart` | `flutter/scroll` channel handler |
+| `engine/src/flutter/lib/web_ui/lib/src/engine/view_embedder/embedding_strategy/*.dart` | `overscroll-behavior: contain` CSS |
+
+## Demo
+
+- **Before Fix**: https://issue-157435-before.web.app
+- **After Fix**: https://issue-157435-after.web.app
+
+## Behavior After Fix
+
+1. ✅ Touch scrolling inside Flutter embedded view works normally
+2. ✅ When Flutter content is at boundary, continued swiping scrolls the host page
+3. ✅ Flutter gesture recognition still works (tap, drag, etc.)
+4. ✅ Works for both vertical and horizontal scrolling
