+[Bug 19287 - clickLoc inconsistency between desktop (MacOS) and mobile (iOS)](http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19287)
+
+The reporter discovered that `the clickLock` is the location where the mouse
+was pressed when running on desktop, and the location where the touch was
+released when running on a mobile device.  The problem was extremely
+well-explained, and the reporter provided an easy-to-use code sample.
