> The mouse drag event between a button touch and release events would disarm the button in the proposed ButtonBehavior drag event handler. So I added the check if the mouse drag is synthesized. If the mouse drag is synthesized (Monocle case on touchscreen) it disarms the button, otherwise (GTK case) not.

I see it generates scroll events ( it has its own [ScrollEventSynthesizer](https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/master/apps/samples/Ensemble8/src/app/java/ensemble/ScrollEventSynthesizer.java)) and action events and it can makes the Ensemble8 buttons on a ScrollPane to be pressed.

I believe you want to say that this causes the button to be disarmed, and it needs to be rearmed again before it can fire?
