When I looked at this 6 years ago (in relation to MGWT, which is dead
although we still use it in legacy products) Pointer events were the way to
go and are supported on all browsers now as far as I am aware.

There was talk of a single touch/pointer API system in GWT similar to what
MGWT did where it took mouse, touch and pointer events and converted to a
single touch event system. Hence you coded to MGWT's touch system and it
worked on all devices.

No idea if GWT did this in the end.

I assume you are using an old IE Edge? Latest Edge uses webkit under the
hood and so your problems may go away with this browser. Older IE Edge as
far as I can remember does not support touch events but does support
Pointer events.

Take what I say with a pinch of salt. It has been many years but I believe
that is why you have an issue.
