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

    I think that is the desired behavior. The bell feature is mostly a gimmick anyway, the tiny speaker generating a cute little bell emulation sound to alert someone like a pedestrian you are approaching, far enough away so they have time to maybe hear it and react.... just isn't loud enough (understandably). Garmin could add a touch delay to wait to see if a double tap was performed before passing it to the onTouch interrupt handler I guess. Or they could disable onTouch for CIQ. I think we'd all prefer to just keep the current behavior. But yeah good catch about that clarification on scope on one line, and taking the time the point that out LOL
