Hi,
I just discover an issue on a Windows 8 tablet, using the touch screen. A child component running a modal loop is not able to receive “mouse” events coming from the touch screen… but no problem if the "real mouse " is used instead.
Here is a short piece of code showing the issue. I can “touch” the Open button then the modal component is displayed. But at this time I can’t “touch” the Close button. I can “click” it, but not “touch”… you see what I mean? 
Any idea? I know it would be better to migrate my code to use enterModalState instead of runModaLoop, but no time for that right now.
Many thanks in advance,
/Phil
