I wasn't aware that this is happening on BB6... do you have an example of what you mean by touch and holding in a "blank area".
If it is BB6 you should be able to override any of this touch and hold with the touch events.. but I would like to know more on how to reproduce the scenario. We disabled the context menus by default in PlayBook but I wasn't aware that these were showing up on BB6
Tim,
I had a bit of a play around to isolate the issue. Seem that from the monent you add a menu item with addMenuItem, there seems to be some sort of listener on the page that pops up the full screen menu and also when you single click in an already focused input field. This is very annoying and I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disable this (I can't see how to disable it with touch events - If I return false on click of any area of the page, none of my links will work ?)
Example: Create a new empty webworks app with the below and blackberry.ui.menu feature included in config.xml
<html><head>
<script>var aMenuitem = new blackberry.ui.menu.MenuItem(false, 1, "Test menu item", null);
blackberry.ui.menu.addMenuItem(aMenuitem);
</script></head>
<body><input type=text></body></html>
Any 'long' click anywhere in the body or any single click in the input field if it's already highlighted will give you the below.
<html><head>
<script>var aMenuitem = new blackberry.ui.menu.MenuItem(false, 1, "Test menu item", null);
blackberry.ui.menu.addMenuItem(aMenuitem);
</script></head>
<body><input type=text></body></html>
