Hi IMA team,

We’re using the IMA HTML5 SDK, and we needed to customize the clickable area in our player, so we provided a third parameter — clickTrackingElement — when creating a new AdDisplayContainer.

Everything worked perfectly until we discovered an unexpected issue:
When clickTrackingElement is provided, the <Icon> element in the VAST response becomes unclickable.

To be more specific — normally, clicking the <Icon> should navigate to the URL specified in <IconClickThrough>.
However, after setting clickTrackingElement, clicking the icon instead triggers a pause ad action.

Is there any recommended way to handle this issue?

Thank you!
