Bug or Feature - Tranparent Buttons Non-Responsive

[Scott Rossi]

The "hack" mentioned by Brahmanatha is a technique to make
clickable/draggable transparent images, it doesn't have to do with buttons
at all:

I agree with Jacque's findings.  AFAIK, buttons have always responded
across their entire rect.  Maybe there's some odd rendering bug occurring,
but perhaps it would be good to double-check what types of objects are
being used there.
