Issues with contentEditable and bootstrap.js on iOS

[metz0r]

I have been trying out both bootstrap-wysihtml5 and tinyMCE for rich text editing and I've run into problems with both tools on iOS. I first posted on bootstrap-wysihtml5's github (jhollingworth/bootstrap-wysihtml5#186) but I have realized that the problem is in bootstrap.js.

Symptom:

The textarea is really buggy - can't effectively describe it but once you start typing and moving the cursor around the input suddenly stops responding.

Conclusions:

• The problem is introduced in bootstrap.js version 2.1.0
• It is caused by touchstart event bindings on .dropdown
• This issue describes how it started: Overlays (Dropdowns, etc) Don't Close on Lost Focus on iOS #1769

Fix:

$(document).off('touchstart.dropdown.data-api');

they've been talking about removing the touchstart from the dropdowns in favor of fastclick ; pull request = #6488

We merged in #6488 so closing this out.
