936754 - Fire dblclick event for double-taps in Metro

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: WinRT, defect)

Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

Attachment: patch

This fixes the "clickCount" when a touchscreen tap is a double-tap.

Note: This makes double-tap cause a text selection, which we don't want.  There doesn't seem to be a clean way to prevent this in JavaScript; forum searches suggest the best solution is to write a dblclick handler that immediately clears the selection.  Or perhaps we can fix this in Gecko somewhere.

I started working on a platform fix for something like this in bug 851521. Maybe we can resurrect that work.

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue with the Nightly from 2013-10-15 on a Dell XPS 12 ultrabook with Windows 8 64-bit.

Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?
