Can you test with 1.2.11?  There's been a lot of changes since 1.2.7b,
and it's not really useful to try to chase down bugs which may have
already been fixed.

Currently it's treated as a click if the mouse is at the same position
when the mouse button is pressed and released, and that position has to
be at most 5 pixels from a station - I wonder which of these is the
issue.

If you concentrate on not moving the stylus horizontally, does that seem
more successful than if you focus on touching it as close to the station
as you can?
