Bxslider error InvalidPointerId on Android 6.0.1

Question

Bxslider (git code here) was working all nicely on Android. Today when I slide the carousel it fires this error "Invalid Pointer Id: Failed to execute 'set Pointer Capture' on 'Element': Invalid Pointer Id." Looking at the bxslider script this is the code where the error fires:

if (slider.viewport.get(0).setPointerCapture) {
  slider.pointerId = orig.pointerId;
  slider.viewport.get(0).setPointerCapture(slider.pointerId);
}

Any clue on what is going on?

Here is a workaround that works. Use this snippet of code:

var chromePointerEvents = typeof PointerEvent === 'function'; if (chromePointerEvents) { if (orig.pointerId === undefined) { return; } }

Insert after:

touchPoints = (typeof orig.changedTouches !== 'undefined') ? orig.changedTouches : [orig];
