798707 - [Email] Long tapping and releasing will not persist the context edit menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 797635

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Pressing and holding the context menu for edit mode will bring up the context dialog, but then the dialog disappears immediately when you let go of hold.

Environment:
- 10/5 daily otoro build
- gaia: ca1f327d5acc198bb4be62fa51db2c039032c9ce
- gecko: ddc8eeb3f9b9ee04d9f74b4f60522eb4530a4a6f

Repro:
1) launch email and add an account (gmail)
2) go to inbox, and long press one of your emails
3) the context edit menu appears.  
4) Release your hold right away
5) Verify the context menu dissapears immediately.

Expected:
- long tap menu should persist, until an action or tapping away is depressed.

Actual:
- context menu closes once you lift your finger off.

The bugginess of the long-hold is due to bug 766813.  However, we are changing the UX for long hold so it will just enter the multi-edit mode.  We will leverage the buggy event so that the click event just ends up selecting the current message.
