'press' click is registering in next view

[MrJadaml]

I'm using a long press style event to trigger a menu of items. Though the click event from the press is registering in the menu and selecting the item where ever the user was initiating a long press. How do I stop that click event from registering in the next view?

componentDidMount() {
  const hammer = new Hammer.Manager(this.wrapper);
  hammer.add( new Hammer.Press({ event: 'press', time: 500 }) );
 
  hammer.on('press', (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();

    history.replace(menuURL);
  });
}

currently a regular tap/click navigates to one view, and this longpress pops up a menu.
