Button and TouchEvents

[Sebastian Rheinnecker]

Hello,

yes, the synthesized events worked just fine. I was just surprised that 
the button didn't work on touches when I prevented mouse events from 
reaching the button. I actually had to look up the code to understand 
why this effects touch events and I just wanted to make sure that this 
is intended.

Kind regards,
Sebastian
