[Bug] 0.5.19c-Win 64: Game doesn't work on touchscreen/tablets?

Hey there.  New to the game.  Only been playing since 0.5.19c.  Game works fine on my desktop (Win 10), but when I load it on my Surface Pro 2017 tablet, I can't play it via touchscreen.   Touch works for everything else in Windows (also Win 10), and works on the "close window" button in the upper right of the frame, but does not register on any in-game buttons or controls.  I can't even get past the "are you 18" question in the pre-menu without a mouse.

Is this a known issue?

Now, the Surface Pro I'm using (the 2017 model, they stopped using convenient numbers for some reason) has a 4k display on it, so I know it does funky things with high DPI scaling.  I tried the game with all of that shut off (which makes it tiny on the screen) but still same problem.  I also have a Surface Pro 3 which has a regular 1080 display on it (or close enough it doesn't do heavy DPI scaling) which I can load the game up and try it on there. 

The game works perfectly with a mouse, I'm just surprised it doesn't work via touch.  I've been a programmer for 15 years and I don't think I ever saw that.  I just kinda always assumed it was one of those auto-magical things that just worked!  

General input is handled via godot engine, so its more likely related to that. I don't think I can help with this. 

I found some material on this issue.  One is make sure "Emulate Touchscreen" is enabled in the settings which seems to be a common one.  Another is a scaling issue that seems version related and the last is a hidden layer blocking the inputs with code examples.  Hope this helps!
