Hi,

I've encountered an irritating bug. I've bound a tap event to an element on my page. The handler of that event just shows an alert message. If I tap the element it displays the alert message as it should through the handler, but whenever I touch anything else on the screen, like the header, the event handler gets called once again displaying the same alert message.

The third time I tap something it all works normally again. This bug applies to all of the elements on the page that I bind either vclick or tap to. Whatever callback the events have gets called twice, the first time when tapping the element itself and the other time when touching something else on the screen.

Is there anyone else that has encountered this bug and knows how to solve it?
