likely related to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784547

## Current Behaviour

* Clicking on hyperlinks (for example gedit -> Info -> www.gedit.org) doesn't work when using the touchscreen. Only a cursor appears at the position of the click


## Expected Behaviour

* Clicking on hyperlinks using the touchscreen has the same effects as doing it with the mouse


## System

Antergos x64
Gnome 3.24.2

Does this only happen in GtkTextView or generally, e.g. does `gtk3-demo --run=links` and pressing those links work?
Comment 2 Strangiato 2017-07-25 12:52:12 UTC 
Antergos user here...
"text" and "google" links from gtk3 demo work with touch screen.
The links from gedit about dialog dont work.

I use Wayland session
Comment 3 Thomas Pointhuber 2017-07-26 07:23:09 UTC 
`gtk3-demo --run=links` doesn't work with my touchscreen.
With `gtk3-demo --run=hypertext`, links can be used.

Using `GTK_DEBUG=interactive` to simulate a touchscreen, doesn't reproduced the problem on my system.

I also run with a Wayland session, the computer is a XPS 15 Touch (i7-6700)
