Is there a way to make a button receive a click event when the user moves a little bit during the click?

On mobile devices I have found many users will move their finger a little bit when clicking on a button.  In Kendo UI Mobile if movement occurs during the click the click event is not fired.  To see this happen, run the following plunkr:

When clicking drag just a little bit and the click event will not fire.  Only when you click with no movement will the click event fire.

I would like an event something like "touch up inside" which would fire when the user lifts their finger from a button.  

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Detecting a "touch up inside" is quite complicated. Unlike the mouse events, the touch events always report the originating element as the current event target; there is no equivalent of mouseleave. 

In the internals of Kendo UI we have a setting which controls the button sensitivity to movement, but it is currently private and can't be set from the user code. However, this sounds like a sensible feature, so I have logged it for our next iteration.
