Since I've started using NVDA on a portable computer with a touch screen running windows 8.1, I've noticed that while NVDA is running, some of the touch gestures of the operating system cannot be performed. Examples of such gestures are:

• Touch and hold (eg. for invoking a context menu).
• Scrolling of lists and other similar controls (even with 2, and not only with 1 finger).
• Activating controls, witch don't have defined actions for them (even triple tapping does not work on such controls).

Yes, there's a "pass through" command in NVDA, but:

• It works only for keyboard commands and not for touch gestures.
• It can be invoked by default only from the keyboard and if the touch screen device does not have a keyboard, the command can't be invoked. Maybe we can assign a touch gesture to the "pass through" command via NVDA's settings, but I haven't tested that yet.

So, can something be done so the "pass through" command will work for touch gestures as well, and not only for keyboard commands?

My configuration:

• NVDA: latest next snapshot (same results with the stable 2013.3 version).
• Operating system: Windows 8.1, 32-bit, with regional and language options set to "bulgarian".
• Device: ASUS Transformer Book T100.
