This doesn't work for submenus

[stevecoug]

I don't actually use submenus on my site, so I didn't test that. Does adding #4550 (comment) fix the submenu problem?

It doesn't work on my Android phone, I'll try it on the iPad tomorrow :)

Hey @fridgesm,

Thanks for opening this pull-request! Unfortunately, it looks like it fails to pass the criteria neccessary for submitting to bootstrap. The following things are currently failing:

• should always be made from feature branches
• should always include a unit test if changing js files

For a full list of issue filing guidelines, please refer to the bootstrap issue filing guidelines.

thanks!

@fridgesm Wouldn't you just combine the two .dropdown and .dropdown-menu rules into one event? Also, this issue should already be fixed with my PR - #5067

Can the pull request for this please be accepted. It's really not helping the mobile experience for bootstrap to have issues with touch events when the majority of your visitors are from mobile. I've had to replace the button when the window get's resized for this reason as a temp fix but I would really like to have the button back.

Thanks
