Noticed this since RC1 - RC4.

My app has a feed and on the feed items, the image and the card item itself require the user to tap it twice. This is how I’m using the (click) events

`<button ion-fab class="search-fab" (click)="showSearchPrompt()">`

I tried using the (tap) event and that works perfectly except for one thing…it makes the screen flash and this alert popup I have to click itself basically and the screen just acts funny. Wondering if I’m using those wrong or what I should do, thanks.
