I can pan the map on my Android phone, which is nice, actually I do not
care which exact event is used.
But in Opera, selecting the feature dot's is always working.

Yep, we are all talking these three browsers on an Android 2.2 (Desire
HD) phone.
And like Opera: selecting/clicking the features is always working.

In Android browser selecting is unpredictable:

To make myself more clear :-)

I need the functionality of selecting features in the android browser
(because this (webkit?)browser is used in the webview-control that is
used in PhoneGap. The testing with the other browsers is just to see if
the strange behaviour I see in the android/webkit browser is browser
specific (and it is).

At first I thought there was a relation with the TouchNavigation
control, but after disabling or removing it, the strange selecting
behaviour continues (as if the div's are too small or just missed).

I forgot to mention I used a fresh build from Trunk of today.

Hoping somebody gives me a little clue on where to look/debug to see
what is going wrong.
One observation: when selecting a feature in the android browser, the
full map is 'activated' sometimes.
Another observation: sometimes selecting a feature works, then a couple
of times it is not and apparently after clicking on the canvas and
trying again is works again.

I have to find out/log the exact cascade of events I think to debug this
case. Any idea's are appreciated.
I will try to make a very minimal build nonminimized build also.
