OpenLayers.Control.Navigation supports mouse as well as touch. For
pinch zoom to work you have to have OpenLayers/Control/PinchZoom.js in
your build.

OpenLayers.Control.TouchNavigation supports touch only, it is to be
used for touch/mobile specific apps.

You can try this:

yourMeasureControl.handler.stopUp = true;
