Yes, that is a correct behavior. The only navigation type where scrolling/dragging changes the active element is forceCentered (as documented), as it is the only navigation type where it makes sense.

It certainly makes sense to allow for mousescroll, drag, page navigation and next/prev element slide regardless of the navigation type. It's a massive down fall of the plugin! It limits user to only one navigation type in order to allow for switching from scrollbar to button navigation.
Why not to add the 'active' class to the first visible element on scroll finish, or the last visible if the slider position is right at the end?

Lets imagine you are building a screenshot viewer similar to one you can find on one of the Steam games page. The active item in such slider represents the active screenshot displayed above. When I browse the screenshots by mousescroll, page buttons, or dragging the content or a scrollbar handle, I don't want each such navigation event to activate a new screenshot. I'm just browsing the thumbnails, and I want to activate them myself by clicking on the thumbnail, or a dedicated nextItem button.

Thus, the only navigation type where automatic item activation based on its position makes sense is forceCentered, which places a strong emphasis on the centered image.

However, currently there is no button for small navigation steps similar to mousescroll navigation, so sly without navigation type (scrolling of content without items) has a problem with prev & next methods doing nothing. But this is already addressed in issue #10 and on my todo list.
