Users cannot select filters in the Search Results Page item template in a Windows Store app that you developed in Visual Studio 2013 Preview

Symptoms

Assume that you develop a Windows Store app by using JavaScript in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Preview. The app uses the Search Results Page item template. In this scenario, users cannot select the filters in the Search Results Page by using a mouse or touch gestures.

Workaround

To work around this issue, add the following attributes to the .searchResults section[role=main] .filterbar class in the .css file in the Search Results Page item template:

        position: relative; 
        z-index: 1;

For example, the CSS code in the searchResults.css file should resemble the following:
.searchResults section[role=main] .filterbar {
        position: relative;
        z-index: 1;}

Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
