When a long reference drawer is scolled, the drawer closes. You can test this on Diana, Princess of Wales article on Beta Labs – I made the first reference really long.

On the example I can scroll on desktop so I assume this is only limited to touch devices?
Change 178338 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jdlrobson):
Scrollable reference drawers
@rmoen Could you test this situation against your current patchset in Gerrit and make sure it is addressed?
This has been a primary thought of my patch. And I have tested it on IOS 8 simulator and chrome. I will test further.
@Jdlrobson Correct. In desktop, if you focus the main body you can scroll the page. In Mobile, touches outside the drawer and scrolling beyond the drawer prevents body from scrolling.
Ping @rmoen let's either get this bug fix wrapped up today or abandon the patch and free it for a volunteer.
