ToolBar click event for splitButton's menuButtons does not fire when the splitButton is in overflow

[IvanDanchev]

Bug report

The splitButton's own click event does not fire for its menuButtons, when the splitButton is displayed under the ToolBar's overflow button.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the Toolbar Events demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/toolbar/events
2. Resize the window so that the splitButton is moved under the overflow button.
3. Open the overflow popup.
4. Click on the Action 1 button.

Current behavior

The splitButton click event does not fire.

NOTE: if the main button of the splitButton is clicked, the event is fired.

Expected/desired behavior

The splitButton click event fires regardless of the splitButton being in overflow or in main toolbar.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2024.2.519
• Browser: all

It works fine if the splitButton items have their own click handlers defined.

I think a more accurate description would be:

1. when not overflown, the children without their own handler properly inherit the click handler from the parent
2. when overflown, such children don't inherit the handler.

the problem is when it is for a mobile phone and the buttons overflow the menubuttons click does not work.
use the @GaloisGirl example and it is emulated on a mobile, and the click does not work.

Revisiting this today I noticed that per the documentation, the children don't have their own click handlers: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/toolbar/configuration/items.menubuttons

However, you can declare such handlers, and they work.

I'd really prefer for them to have their own click handlers: if I'm using different buttons, it's for doing different things.

@GaloisGirl @icesasoftcorp We have logged a Feature Request for adding official support for separate subitem click handler and you may vote for it. Currently it is possible to assign different values to different splitButton's menuButtons and check in the splitButton click handler which menuButton is the one clicked. This is shown on ToolBar Events demo.

In the Toolbar events demo, the splitButtonClickHandler set for the SplitButton items is not thrown when in overflow.
