Request to all designers - please stop building nested scroll and drag interactions. Common pet peeve for me recently is embedded map widgets in web pages. A user scrolling the page will find at some point that their mouse has come over a map which is now eating the scroll events and they are now scrolling the map instead. Only choice at that point is to move the mouse over and start scrolling over. Bonus annoyance - In many cases it is non trivial to reset the map to its default setting before the unwanted scroll interacted with it. Hovering over an item is a very weak commitment from the user that they want to interact with the element. Please do not use the hover to infer that the user means to interact with the element, at the very least put in some kind of timer and enable the interaction only on sustained hovers.

This annoyance has been widely extant for ten years or more - I think I first experienced it with google maps as I believe they were the first to zoom with scroll ... Seems easy to fix - sub window elements in the browser cannot zoom until clicked on ? It's amazing that behavior made it through one browser version iteration.
