   Hello again,

   it's me with another bug report. This time it concerns the iPhone (and possibly also Android phones):

   When you are holding a touch on the screen, press HOME, stop touching, re-enter the application and touch anywhere, you will have two touches: The new one, and the old one as "stationary". The old one is persistent. This is stackable. (And also really annoying.)

   Here is a minimal example project reproducing the problem: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1977054/temp/DemoStationaryTouch.zip

   Steps to reproduce:
   1. Hold and/or move a touch anywhere
   2. Continue holding the touch and press HOME
   3. Stop holding the touch
   4. Go back into the application
   5. Touch anywhere

   Rinse and repeat.

   You will see the old touches that didn't end before you pressed HOME as "stationary" whenever you touch the screen again.

   We are using AIR 3.2 and Starling 1.0. Switching to the current version on GitHUB (v1.1 23.04.2012) didn't fix the problem either.

   It would be great if you could check it out fast. The game we are making is very near to its release, and every time iOS gets interrupted (for example due to an incoming call, battery low notification or the HOME button) the game becomes unusable until restarted.

   Cheers!
   Tobias

   If this is a suspected bug please file an issue on Starling's github issue tracker.
   It is the best and most guaranteed way that Daniel will see it and address it.

   I've tested this last week, and it turned out to be a problem of AIR 3.2. With AIR 3.3 (release candidate available at adobe labs), this does not pop up any longer.

   Sorry that I never answered - it was a stressful time, and after we worked around it by just removing all touches when re-entering the application I forgot to look here. (I feel a bit ashamed about that, seeing that you answered so fast in the issue tracker.)

   For some reason that the developer in charge cannot remember we couldn't use AIR 3.3, and I don't think we've tested it since. Good to know that it's fixed there though. Thanks for your help!

   You're welcome! No need to feel ashamed, it's not always possible to answer right away.
