Description

When using long text for auto link, some of the text wraps in to a second line leaving a white area in the first line. Tapping on this white area opens the email client or the phone app. (The auto link behavior).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Load a new project with the below app.js. 2. Click anywhere on the white space next to the link. Expected Behavior: The e-mail client or the Phone Dial pad should only open when the link is clicked. Actual Behavior: They open even when the blank space next to the link is tapped.

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor:'white'
});
var text = "1234@gmail.com 123456789012346789012345678901234567890 abc@gmail.com qrstuvwxyz123456789@abcdefghijk.com 123456789 123456789 123-456-7890"

var lbl2 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
    text: text,
    width:'auto',
    top: 60,
    autoLink: Ti.UI.Android.LINKIFY_ALL
});

win.add(lbl2);
win.open();

This seems to be normal Android behavior, I tested it with a native Java android application:

main.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="fill_parent"
       android:orientation="vertical" >
   
       <TextView
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_weight="0.44"
           android:id="@+id/label"
           android:text="@string/hello" />
   
   </LinearLayout>

HelloWorldActivity.java

   package com.pec1985.helloworld;
   
   import android.app.Activity;
   import android.os.Bundle;
   import android.text.util.Linkify;
   import android.widget.TextView;
   
   public class HelloWorldActivity extends Activity {
       /** Called when the activity is first created. */
       @Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           setContentView(R.layout.main);
           
           TextView label =  (TextView)findViewById(R.id.label);
           label.setTextSize(18);
           label.setText("1234@gmail.com 123456789012346789012345678901234567890 abc@gmail.com qrstuvwxyz123456789@abcdefghijk.com 123456789 123456789 123-456-7890");
           Linkify.addLinks(label, Linkify.ALL);
           
       }
   }

Result, the same as in Titanium, taping on empty space triggers last link.

The issue reported here is not a bugg. Actually the 'lbl2' is a view and it's width will be set according to the length of the var 'text'. So the lbl2 should capture events on its entire area. When a user makes a click on the white space after the link, lbl2's event listener is getting triggered. Therefore it cannot be treated as a bug. For more clarification give a background color for lb2 and set its width to some dimension like 'width:300' and repeate the steps.
