Double Drop Menu and IE11 using Touch

[Poul]

With IE the DropDown menu is workable with a mouse (suffers from some display alignment issues)
but with a touch interface the drop down menu disappears before the user
can make a selection.

Are they any techniques that can make it 'sticky'.

bump.

I have since bought a new Yoga for testing and Developing for Windows 10,
Both IE11 and Edge have the same problem...

the Dropdown menus do not work if you are using touch
they work only if you use the mouse.

It seems to be ok on Chrome and FF.

This is only a problem with MS Edge and IE 
and only when using a 2-in-1 Device  - with both touch and mouse support,
Win 8.x and Win 10 in my tests.

Windows 10 supports a Tablet Mode, which does not seem to make any difference.

FYI: My workaround:

I am not a javascript guy, but this was defeating my rollout, as the target users all have 2-in-1's
To make something workable i tweaked jquery-nt-menu.js
there is a timer in there that is set to 100 - it seems to control how long
the menu remains after navigating off with the mouse (or you finger in touch)

i bumped it up to 2000, and now the menu hangs around for 2 seconds, which is enough time to
make it workable, (it has a side effect of lingering  a little longer for a mouse user, but for me a worth while trade off)

BRUCE: if that timer could be set from the menu template (or embed) , and you tweaked the shipping js,
that would make it a bit easier to deploy.
