multiple events for touch_start/end

Why do I often get multiple touch_start() or touch_end() events when touching an object once?

If the object is movable and it's moved by touching, I get lots and lots of touch_start() events, and touch_end() is better but still not debounced. Even the default "new script" will show this problem for touch_start(). Most likely it happens if the mouse moves while the button is down.

I know how to debounce (using a timer and/or state variable, depending on behavior). But shouldn't these events be debounced already? Seems like a bug to me, and there's no mention of it on the LSL wiki.

Thanks

I tried it with a single box prim and the default new script, with and without the object set to physical, and I only get one touch_start event per left click, even with rotating or dragging it around. Do you see this behavior with a single prim? If not, try checking llDetectedLinkNumber() in your touch event, to see if multiple prims are triggering it in the root prim.

is it always the same number of touch_start events? If it seems random, try a different mouse too.. I had a similar (not really similar, but comparable) experience a while back and it turned out the left button on my mouse was actuating as the pressure on it varied.. which would be inevitable when holding and especially moving.
