Scroll events not getting fired when content inside md-content is scrolled

What is the expected behavior?

When you scroll the page and the md-content’s height is larger than the available space, page scroll events should be fired.

What is the current behavior?

They don’t get fired.

Please note, this was working correctly in the alpha5 version but now it’s broken in v2.0.0.-alpha6.

To add further information, consider this to be the layout:

<md-sidenav-layout>
    <md-sidenav #sidenav>
        <md-nav-list>
            ...
    </md-sidenav>
    <md-toolbar style="background-color: #2db1eb; color: white">
            ...
    </md-toolbar>
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</md-sidenav-layout>

When the content placed inside <router-outlet> is larger than the available height, the scroll events are not firing. This is preventing me from implementing infinite scroll on various components.

Can you please let me know if there is a workaround for this?

Many thanks,

Looks like #703 change behavior. scroll event fires by md-content.

As a workaround, i think, you can wrap all what not in md-sidenav into div and listen scroll event on it.

<div (scroll)="handleScroll($event.target)" style="height: 100%; overflow: auto;">
    <md-toolbar style="background-color: #2db1eb; color: white">
        ...
    </md-toolbar>
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
</div>

It seems to me that there is some shortcoming in sidenav architecture. I do not understand why the side navigation should wrap a content and override properties and behavior of main container. IMO sidenav should be in the container next to other content, rather than around it. For exemple md-toolbar doesn’t wrap main content. Because of this, there are problems with scrolling and positioning of elements.
