A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If you try to select an entry in the popup list of a ComboBox on a touch device (put the finger on the entry), this selection is ignored if you "produce" a minimal drag with your finger

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open the popuplist of a combobox by touching on it
Select an entry with your finger by pressing the item, drag you finger only a little bit and release the touch

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The pressed entry should be selected
ACTUAL -
Selection remains on the previous selected entry

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced often.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
only possibility seems to be to write own skins and behavior classes where the latePress flag is only set to false if the mouseDragged is not a synthesized event
