Oh - I actually do have a touchscreen laptop, so that may be the same issue.
Were there no side-effects to replacing touch OR mouse events to just mouse events when using phone/tablet devices? Would they still detect touch events in the same way (I am not sure how much optimization Ionic puts into touch event handling, such as delays, etc.)
Thank you for sending it to me though. I will test across devices. If it is only touch laptops that are affected, it is not a primary issue to start.
