Description

Webview click event is not being fired when the parent window also has a click event. There is a change of behavior, it works fine in iOS. It used to work for android in Ti SDK 2.0.2.GA

Repo Steps

1. Run the below code in your app.js 2. Tap the "Click me" link and click event is not being fired.

var window = Titanium.UI.createWindow();

window.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
	Ti.API.info("************** e.y = " + e.y);
    if(e.y >= -20 && e.y < 13) {
        alert('Clicks on window object, scrolls content to top');
    } 
})
Titanium.App.addEventListener('openImage', function (e) {
    alert('Opening image');
});

var webView = Titanium.UI.createWebView();
var html = '<html>' + 
   '<body>' +
        '<br />' + 
        '<br />' + 
        '<br />' + 
        '<br />' + 
        '<br />' + 
        '<br />' + 
        '<a onclick="javascript:alert(123456)">Click me!</a>' +
   '</body>' + 
   '</html>';
webView.html = html;
window.add(webView);
window.open();

In the original test case, when we tap the "click me" link, the "click" event is fired from the window. If we check the log console, we can see the output like: I/TiAPI (20559): ************** e.y = 176.55079650878906 Seems the "click" event is bubbled up to the window on Android but it is not bubbled on iOS. If you remove the "click" event listener from the window, the link will work fine. BTW, the "click" event listener on webview does not work on 2.0.2GA and we fixed that for 2.1.0 (TIMOB-2017). That's why you see the different behaviors.
