The problem

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download a multi touch tester app I used this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester)
  2. Now randomly touch your screen with 1 or 2 fingers you'll notice 1 or 2 ghost touches.

What is the current behavior?

When the user touches the screen at a random spot, a touch at some other random spot can be seen.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Touch should only be seen where the actual contact has been made on the screen.
