what a brain-f#* of inconsistent behavior.<p>this is the result of one side of the architects wanting fast click and the other side wanting double tap-zoom. and then the group just giving up and accepting the worst middle ground possible just to quit the pointless discussion.<p>Good UI is consistent. this is as annoying as writing in a office application before disabling all the &quot;smart&quot; text replacement helpers

Wouldn&#x27;t it be better to just implement W3C Recommendation Pointer Events[0] and its touch-action CSS control and to stop trying to kludge things based on viewport META tags?<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;pointerevents&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;pointerevents&#x2F;</a>

It is wrong on so many levels. And there is going to be a checkbox for that too, to confuse users even further.
