Long-Press also fires "click" and "mouseup"

I have a table row and I want to have two functions when I click on this. With a long-press I want to select the row (add an ".active_row" class) and with a normal click I want to open the details site for this dataset.

For the long-press detection I use the third party script found here. With little modifications it works for me and fires the event "long-press" correctly. But the problem now is, if I release the mousebutton the events mouseup and click are fired too...

I compared the event details of the automatic fired after longpress-click and the manual fired click and they are identic. So I can't distinguish it with this.

Any ideas?

The third party script fires the custom long-press event with this after the mousebutton is down for 500ms. it uses the events mousedown and a simple timeout function:

this.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('long-press', { bubbles: true, cancelable: true }));

You can do something like that :

// listen for long-press events
document.addEventListener('long-press', function(e) {
  e.target.classList.toggle('selected');
  e.target.setAttribute('data-long-pressed', true);
});

// listen for long-press events
document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
  if ( e.target.getAttribute('data-long-pressed') ) { 
      e.preventDefault() ;
      e.stopPropagation() ;
      e.target.removeAttribute('data-long-pressed');
  }
  // What you whant here
}, true);
