for modern Edge devices - double tap on IQ datafields do not ring the bell

Modern Edge devices have got a new feature: double tap „on any screen and on any part of screen“ - so Garmin‘s anouncement - do not work as announced.

If the IQ datafield has touches enabled to do something, the double-taps onto the tap region do not go through onto the native firmware.

But IQ datafields do not support double taps. So, it should be possible to let double taps through to ring the bell. Bell

    The problem is, that there are CIQ datafields where all the field can receive a tap. For example a half width, smallest-height datafield. There is no place for a "non tap area". Or - if you set such a small datafield with a "non tap area" - who should hit this small area exactly during riding with a double tap??

    Areas that cannot receive taps of course let all kind of taps through to the native firmware...

    True. The OP just wasn’t clear to me. It said CIQ fields that use onTouch don’t let double taps thru. My CIQ fields do ring the bell upon a double tap. Those without onTouch and those with onTouch if tapped outside the onTouch region.

    now I get the ask: a quick double tap within an onTouch region should not be handled by the onTouch CIQ logic but rather be sent to the device for native handling (ring the bell). That makes sense.
