    // (e.g. Surface tablet) it only goes red if you touch the button and 
    // then move your finger. The bug is that it does not go red if you 
    // touch the button and keep your finger stationary. When you press the 
    // button with the mouse it goes red immediately, without moving the mouse. 

    // Note that on the console output a "touch pressed" event does occur 
    // when you touch the buttton with your finger, but this does not cause the 
    // button's pressed property to become true. When you press the button 
    // using the mouse, however, the "mouse pressed" event does seem sufficient 
    // to set the pressed property to true.
