Graphics + mouse-down + alert = boom

ReneRubalcava — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:48:40 GMT

So I'm having some difficulty using the mouse-down event for layers.
If I have have an alert popup on a mouse-down event, the map pan gets stuck.

Here is a jsbin

I've tried manually firing off click events or other mouse-up/down events, but I can't get the map unstuck.
Has anyone come across this and more importantly, know how to fix it.

Thanks.

Haven't seen that before. I'll do some research and post back here.

I came across something similar to this when examining this GitHub demo. In the discussion, the author discovered

it was event bubbling that was causing the problem, fixed by using the Dojo event.stop(e) method.

Ha, thank you good sir. event.stopPropagation() did the trick!
