Pointer events bounce on clicks
Yesterday made simple experiment: recorded in log coordinates (x,y) of pointer press, drags and release events at real devices. During experiment I only clicked (not scroll!) at screen using finger. Devices are: Nokia 5230 and Samsung S5230.
Results impressed me a lot: bounce is up to 23 pixels (for y up to 15, possibly because of finger shape)!
This mean that if you need to differentiate scroll from click, you have to implement some kind of filter that takes into account time and type of movements of pointer.
