Widget Scrollview Not Passing events through to lower objects?

From the touch tuturial (http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2012/04/11/corona-touch-events-tutorial/) :

“However, if your listener returns false (or nothing at all), then the touch will be assumed to be faulty and the only event phase you will get is the “began” phase. If there is a “touchable” object underneath the object you touched, then in this case, the touch will “leak through” the object you actually touched and be passed to the next object (assuming you’re touching two objects at once).”

It seems that the touch listener for a widget object – a scrollView – does NOT pass on events when it returns false.

Can anyone confirm this? Is it a bug or a failing of widgets? [import]uid: 37366 topic_id: 34186 reply_id: 334186[/import]

I think this is because the scrollView isn’t using touch events per sea. Danny would be best to answer this and perhaps he will chime in, but I have a feeling the widget is grabbing the touch event and returning true so it never makes it below. When you get the events from the scrollView, those are not touch event, but special events generated by the widget itself. I’ll see if I can get him to answer this definitively.
