Touchscreen Issues

[vengefulpickle]

When using the touchscreen, it appears that a tap registers the click before it registers mouse movement. You can see this by observing the upgrade screen (where tapping to upgrade something closes the screen, because the cursor is outside the upgrade section), and during game play after ending a turn (the first action taken in the next turn pops up the "Are you sure you want to end your turn" prompt with all mechs listed as having actions available).

For the developers, I've had the same issue with code of my own.

Most likely the root cause is that certain touch screens emulate a mouse and have the button down and button up event at exactly the same time. No frames in between, no mouse-motion event, only a down&up.
(At least the Microsoft surface seems to act like this)

If this is caused by the touchscreen's behaviour, wouldn't this be better fixed by contacting that particular manufacturer, or the OS vendor? Seems like this would affect more than just games, having the mouse click at the previous location, before finally moving.
