Why do successive taps on non-URL URI get ignored even after page reload on Windows Google Chrome?

On Windows version of Chrome. After on an already tapped link, every other successive tap on any element with the same URI gets ignored even after a reload of the page.

<p>The following won't have issues with a mouse, but will with a touchscreen on a successive tap within Windows version of Google Chrome:<br /><br />
<strong><a href="tel://tap-on-me-again">tel://tap-on-me-again-within-windows-google-chrome</a></strong>
</p>

Any way to avoid this? The issue also occurs on Opera, but not Firefox. Have already tried circumvent the issue using JavaScript, to no avail:

window.location = "tel://tap-on-me-again"    // click event
Solution

  • In the comment mentioned Google Canary is now Google Chrome current or later version. Fixed.
