How to "kill" mouseTouches while waiting for an internet connection?

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

I always struggled with this. I ended up putting a fully transparent grc
covering everything (I call it a blanket) with 'on mouseUp' and 'on
mouseDown' set with nothing in them on the grc script. This catches any
stray touches I want to be ignored and allow the other processes to
complete. Then hide the blanket once the process is done.
MobileClearTouches was never reliable enough for me.

All the very best, BR
