If I set "Touch Release" for a virtual menu, it acts the same as "Click".

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Create a virtual menu
  2. Set the activation style to "Touch Release"
  3. Attempt to use the virtual menu

Result:

Simply touching doesn't activate the menu. You need to push enough to click

Expected:

Touching should enable a menu item

Touch release is still the same as click.

Touch release was mentioned in the blog post about virtual menus but this is still not fixed. It will confuse new users
