Openlayers 3 unable to fire click event on Android mobile phone

Question

After hours of research and testing, I am experiencing a change in behavior in Openlayers 3 on Android phone devices using Chrome. The problem may be seen here: http://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/popup.html?q=popup. Try and open the page in an Android phone in Chrome. Then try to click the map. The only way I am able to consistently receive a popup is to kind of whip my finger at the phone, touching the screen just minimally for a short period of time. Here is what I know:

• Works on Apple mobile devices, desktops, Android phone Firefox, and Android tablet Chrome
• Doesn't work on Android Chrome on a phone
• Click and double click events do not work
• moveend event does fire
• Working fine last week

The evidence points to a Chrome issue on Android phones but I am unsure. Has anyone else experienced this problem? How did you resolve this? Thanks in advance.
