After upgrade to Unity 2017.3, it looks like scrollrects never register clicks anymore (they always interpret drag events), and we have myriad issues with colliders.
Whilst we can debug NGUI to deal with this (and the result will probably still be more usable than the disaster that is official Unity UI with dynamic layouts, endless srolling and integrated 3D models in the UI), it would be great to know if anyone is actively using NGUI with 2017.3, and/or if there will be an official update.
