jquery/jquery-mobile — Issue #2722: Android click events on a fixed footer navbar falls through to the element underneath

State: open

If you click/tap an item on the navbar inside a fixed footer, if the footer is above an input element (eg. select) the event is handled by that element first, and never reaches any navbar link handlers that are *visually* above it.

Using JQM 1.0RC1
Affects: Android (2.2+)
JS Fiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/yEeNn/3/

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy and paste the contents of the above JS Fiddle into a separate web page
2. Open this page in the Android web browser
3. Scroll until the fixed footer would be positioned over a select element.
4. Tap the "Back" button on the footer.

Expect: alert dialog ("Go Back")
Got: prompt for select options
