Links on BxSlider not working in Google Chrome but working in all other browsers

Question

The error message on clicking is

jquery.js:4388 [Violation] Added non-passive event listener to a scroll-blocking 'touchmove' event. Consider marking event handler as 'passive' to make the page more responsive. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5745543795965952

I can open the link with right-click in a new tap. The more important left-click is not working.

On all other browsers the links are working fine

Please help me

Answer 1

Author of the plugin is aware of this bug. You can track the progress here bxSlider issues

Quick workaround while waiting for the patch is to set touchEnabled to false.

$('.your-slider').bxSlider({
        touchEnabled: false
    });

Answer 2

Altenatively in your jquery.bxslider.js file: Replace this:

if (slider.settings.touchEnabled && !slider.settings.ticker) { initTouch(); }

With this:

if (navigator.maxTouchPoints > 0) { initTouch(); }

This solved it for me.

Answer 3

I faced the same issue. I reverted to bxslider Version 4.2.1. , since I couldn't wait for the bugfix neither was I willing to disable the "touchEnabled" setting nor to touch the library code. With this version every thing works as it should (even in Chrome 77).
