drawer reacts to the keystroke in an input field. Why?

[Frederik]

Hello,

Right on the View - As soon as I want in a texbox write something, the drawer-event is fired and the drawer is opened suddenly. Why? But that only happens on iOS6 Iphone. In the picture you can see a simulation to this problem.

Hello Frederik,

This is not a known issue. Is it possible for you to re-create it in a sample from our dojo? We will take a look.

Hello, after many tests, i found out why the drawer closes after a keystroke in the input field. I use Knockout.js the framework for the data-binding. If the input field is used in conjunction with data-binding, then this event happens.

Hello Frederik,

Most likely knockout triggers some additional DOM events which open the drawer - it listens to touchstart and touchmove. I am not sure why this is needed, as I am not familiar with the knockout internals. Maybe the knockout developers can provide further insight on the problem.

Thanks for the quick reply ... 

One more question. Can i solve this problem-from the Kendo UI side. Or are there any workarounds that you may know.

Hi Frederik,

I am not sure what the knockout js library triggers, or why it triggers it, so I can't suggest any concrete workarounds. In case you decide to work this around on the Kendo UI side, you may use the drawer debug script and check which part of the knockout binding opens it.
