Android - webview not handling touch events when page doesnt need to scroll

The strangest thing, on android i have a webview, without any events just plain:

<Alloy>
    <!-- load menu -->
    <Window id="menu" width="267dip" height="Ti.UI.FILL" left="-267dip" top="0" zIndex="100">
        <WebView enableZoomControls="false" id="menuView" url="/html/menu.html" disableBounce="true" height="Ti.UI.FILL" width="267dip"></WebView>
    </Window>
 
</Alloy>

in the webview i am using jQuery to listen to touch events, no rocket sciene

$('div.row').bind('touchstart', function(){
    alert('touchstart');
});

when i set the page to be 267 pixels with this meta tag

<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="267">

the touch events dont work, when i set the content 1 px bigger, the page needs to scroll in the webview and the touch events work....

Soooo........ WTF?!?
