Thanks Claude,
It can be reproduced by attempting to implement the UIScrollDelegate functions in example code of this session https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/215/
I assume that the new compositional layout only implements scrollviewdelegate on vertical layouts. All horizontal scroll get handled by the individual groups and don't inherit UIScrollDelegate
If that is the case then compositionalLayout becomes unusable for situations where you want to be able to use scroll to item at index path or where you want to set decelerationrate on horizontal scrolling UICollectionViews.
It seems instead you are limited to the orthogonal scrolling behaviour properties with no further information about what items are currently in the scope of view or will come into the view.
