scrollbar and whitespace added on touch or on click

scrollbar and whitespace added on touch or on click

I'm using jqm version 1.3.1 on iOS 6.1.2(iPhone 4S). 

When I touch anywhere in the page, a scrollbar like line(light white line) at the top appears and a few pixels wide whitespace is created on the left hand side of the page. I can also feel the page move as a result. 

I'm using multiple pages in one document. I'm using persistent navbars both at the top and bottom on each page. This touch also toggles the bottom navbar. 

I thought it may be some custom styling that I'm applying so I disable all of it and the problem still appears. 

Any guidance will be much appreciated.
