So when playing with this example: http://jsbin.com/dopazitu/1/edit you can see that the touch events attached to the element (yellow rectangle) work perfectly fine, but the same events attached to an SVG element (red circle) don't work at all.
It works fine on: desktop browsers, Opera (touch device)
It won't work on Sony touchpad, with either Chrome 36.0.1985.128 or Chrome Beta 37.0.2062.39
does anyone know why, or know some sort of work-around for this issue?
