735523 - touchmove events are sometimes not sent

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Judy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11
Build ID: 20101123123540

Steps to reproduce:

Test page:  http://www.apprisant.com/tab/mm.html

This page listens for touch events in the box and prints st, mv or en for start, move and end events.


Actual results:

If you touch and drag right away you get move events, but if you hesitate a moment after the touchstart, no move events are sent. All event handlers call preventDefault().


Expected results:

You should always get move events when you move the finger/stylus. The default browser, Chrome and Opera all send them even after hesitation.

This works in native (Firefox 13.0a1)

Agreed this works for me using today's Firefox 14a1. Touch and hold for a slow 5 count then drag. I get both st and mv events and an en event when my finger lifts. I also tried shorter pauses before dragging.
