Mouse events not working when using jquery.mobile.scrollview.js on Surface Tab

I'am using jquery.mobile.scrollview.js for implementing the scrolling 

https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/tree/1.1-stable/experiments/scrollview/jquery.mobile.scrollview.js

Since here Mouse events are disabled i'am having problems when used on Surface Tab ( A Mouse can be connect to a Surface Tab ) . On the Surface Tab i cannot click on say a Text box control so that it can have focus and so that i can type some data in it 

The same implementation work fine on IPad 

(Have included the piece of code and comment that is problematic )
// If we're using mouse events, we need to prevent the default
// behavior to suppress accidental selection of text, etc. We
// can't do this on touch devices because it will disable the
// generation of "click" events.
//
// XXX: We should test if this has an effect on links! - kin

if (this.options.eventType == "mouse" || this.options.delayedClickEnabled)
e.preventDefault(); 

Hence the change is to comment the code which supresses the mouse events.
if (this.options.eventType == "mouse" || this.options.delayedClickEnabled)
//e.preventDefault(); //commenting this line

Note : I am using JQM 1.2
