On android (HTC m8 with marshmallow) when doing multi touch input on a GLWindow, the drag events of the second touch are not being delivered to mouse listeners. Turning on mouse debug I get the output below, to which I have added commentary about what I believe is happening at each point. Output from a single left touch and hold then 2 right swipes <First press on lower left, notice xy = 495/746 of pixel[1920x1080]> <This event is delivered to listener> 06-01 16:42:39.185

triggering event is doing something wrong. If I remove these lines from the class then all the drag events come through fine, so that is my work around.
Thank you Phil for your excellent description and analysis. I see that the debug info is not sufficient sadly, but as you figured - the 2nd pointer DRAG on the right-lower shows the left-lower position of the 1st pointer. This is wrong. What could cause it? Maybe the pID used based on actionIdx is wrong? Or the actionIdx itself .. Need to investigate this.
