Research direction

Reproduce the failure at the linked Leaflet Draw example using Chrome DevTools' device toolbar and the listed mobile profiles. Then trace the mobile drag-to-draw path in the plugin sources; done means drawing a circle or square completes without freezing or terminating early on those profiles.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I noticed then when I attempt to drag to draw a circle or square on a mobile devices the process freezes and terminates early.

Go to: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/leaflet-draw/

In the Chrome console toggle the device toolbar, then attempt to draw a circle on a mobile device from the dropdown list (Galaxy S5, IPad etc.).
