The issue happens because touchesBegan is interfering with the scroll gesture on the first touch. Instead of recognizing the scroll, the collection view thinks it's just a touch.

Simple Fix:

1. Remove these lines from touchesBegan and touchesEnded:

   self.next?.touchesBegan(touches, with: event) 
   self.next?.touchesEnded(touches, with: event)
   
   

   These lines forward touches manually, which disrupts scrolling.

2. Override gestureRecognizerShouldBegin to ensure scrolling works:

   override func gestureRecognizerShouldBegin(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
       return gestureRecognizer is UIPanGestureRecognizer
   }
   
   

   This makes sure scrolling is detected properly.

Why This Works?

• The collection view will now correctly recognize the first scroll.

• touchesBegan will no longer stop scrolling from working.

After these changes, scrolling will work as expected on the first touch. 🚀
