Bug Description
[ Impact ]
On Wayland opening a popup by touch results in it disappearing as soon as the touch release event happens thus making all popups completely unusable for touchscreens.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Log in to a GNOME Wayland session
2. Launch nautilus
3. Long-press with touch to open the context menu
4. Release finger
5. Verify that the context menu remained open
[ Where problems could occur ]
mutter is the Wayland compositor library that provides graphics and inputs for the GNOME desktop, thus is a critical component.
Problems could manifest with touch input not working correctly anymore, or sudden log-out if gnome-shell crashes.
The change is limited to touchscreen handling, and won't ever affect a system without touchscreen.
