ngTouch ngClick doesn't bubble

[willlma]

When using ngClick on mobile, ngTouch

prevents the following click event from propagating.

And the custom click event it triggers doesn't propagate.

This creates inconsistent behavior in that on a computer, the click event continues to bubble/propagate, but on mobile, it stops. This means that any directives higher in the dom that listen for element clicks fail.

See my SO question for more details.

I feel like this is probably not going to be fixed, but it looks like you guys have discussed possible solutions on SO, so if you're interested, why not write a patch with tests so we can review it?

Hi, all! Is any news here?

[willlma]

If you look at my stackoverflow question, you'll see that you can replace a single line to make it work. Not sure how to write tests and though I know it's all over the documentation, I haven't had the time to go read up. If you do, please feel free to follow up on @caitp's suggestion.

Solutions as of now are to simply change that line and use your own version of ng-touch and/or use fastclick and just use normal click listeners in your own directives.

This doesn't make any sense, so for someone to use this, it has to be written for the sole purpose of a mobile app-only?

Couldn't there be a configuration option for this?
