emacs menu doesn't work with touch controls

Has anyone managed to get the menu in emacs working with touch controls? In my experience while I can tap on the initial buttons in the menu, the rest I have to navigate by keyboard.

I can navigate the menu using just the mouse on my desktop, so I have a feeling this is a problem with touch controls. Perhaps the menu makes the assumption that the pointer has to hover over the item first before it can be clicked. It makes sense of the menu's current behavior: when I tap on it, it activates what's highlighted which is not what is tapped.
