It multiple events happen immediately.

HOWEVER...

I did the same test today, and I get different results...
- Sometimes, a single touch on the Dock only does generate a single TouchUpdate 
event.
- Sometimes, a single touch elsewhere on the Screen generates more than one 
TouchUpdate event.

You do have to be very precise with your touch actions to ensure only
one TouchUpdate is produced. In general use, multiple TouchUpdate events
are generated when you use your finger. I guess this is normal, and the
application really just needs to look for a single TouchEnd event.

Both the screen and the Dock do generate a single TouchEnd event, and
this is probably the important event that applications need to look out
for.


Nevertheless, in the cases were I was able to cause a single TouchUpdate event 
on the Dock, I still got the same behavior:
- Touching the Applications Grid Button failed to display the applications 
overview.
- I momentarily saw the applications overview expand from the button, and then 
retract back into the button, as if I had tapped the Applications Grid Button 
twice, really fast.
- Touching an icon on the Dock (favorites) caused two instances of the 
application to be launched, as if I had tapped the application icon twice, 
really fast.


Does the issue have something to do with the way the Dock handles the TouchEnd 
events?

Caribou (onscreen keyboard) always pops up whenever you touch the
screen; could this be influencing the behavior?
