Tablet to Bluetooth device - Button Touchdown STAYS active after screen is minimized!

[llewv123]

When a button on screen is touched, and finger stays on this button when for example the "HOME" button on the device is pressed, this touchdown event STAYS true on a Bluetooth device receiving from the tablet (i.e app screen has been minimized, finger no longer touching button - but, the bluetooth device reports button still touched - and it stays this was UNTIL you maximize the application screen again, and retouch and release the same button.

Not good for controlling mechanical objects!
What have I left out - any help appreciated.
