Thanks for that observation. You are absolutely right. The mapView really needs an overhaul sooner than later.
Thanks for the confirmation, ksan! I filed a bug for that specific issue (Map Marker Listeners Do Not Fire Correctly, Case 32082).
Great job! Thank you very much for taking the time.
Good news, I just got the following response to my case:
This issue has been fixed and will be in build 2276.
Nice response time… impressive!
Super.! Thanks much for posting that bug report and thanks to Corona Labs for the quick response. My map marker (IOS) anomaly bug was fixed rapidly as well. Seems like mapView is getting some good attention lately. Hope they improve the other lacking aspects at some point as well.
Yayy - post 2277, my previous approach of counting taps is not working anymore… Now need to re-work my workaround once again…
Can we please re-open the case below?
Map Marker Listeners Do Not Fire Correctly, Case 32082
The listeners are now even more messed up than before. 1st tap on a marker does not bring up the bubble but you need 2 taps to bring up the bubble. This was not the case before this “fix”…
Bug reported - (Case 32661) Tapping on map marker causes segmentation fault crash

Using Corona Labs sample MapView, tap Find Location, map will locate an address and put a marker. Tap that marker couple times and you will get the crash reported above.
This is occurring in build 2281 but not in 2275 so I presume it is related to the fixed introduced in 2276.
Ok. Another one that was introduced with the recent bug fix that went live, I think in build # 2276… This is what I was writing about above on 6th May. Reported as
Case 32780) Marker tap doesn’t bring up bubble on first tap - Regression bug post 2276
Basically, when you have multiple markers on a map and you tap one, the bubble pops up. You tap on another marker the bubble for that one needs to pop and used to before 2276. Now the new marker you tap needs a second tap to bring up its bubble. Not good. Please kindly fix this one as soon as possible as its a regression bug introduced while fixing other mapView issues. I need build # > 2276 functionality / fixes for other elements but can’t go there due to this bug.
Thanks for listening.
