I have a simple test page:

Android test page

Android test page

Tapped 0 times.

Click me

When I load it in my HTC Tatoo(click) and tap the button on the screen It gets fired twice if i click on the text and once if i click on the button where there is no text. I analyzed the events and saw that indeed the tap event is fired twice when I click on the text. One event has the span with the text as the source and the other has the span that contains the span with the text as the source.

The Tatoo I have is running Android 2.3.3 (cyanogen). The bug does not happen on the emulator (Android 2.2 or 2.3). Also, it does not happen on a HTC Desire running android 2.2. I' d like to know if anyone else has encountered the same problem (or a similar problem on other devices).
