When I use the touchscreen on my acer chromebook c720P a gray box quickly display behind the touch area? Is this due to the OS, if so can it be turned off? For example, i have a drag and drop area and when I touch a element to drag a gray box shows real fast behind the element, i then drag and the drop area does the same thing. This also happens in the settings screen for the chromebook when I click on a topic, as well as linka. Is this expected behavior?

Thank you for the help, however this does not seem to be what I am looking for. I am curious if there is a way to turn off what seems to be a highlight when you use the touchscreen to click on a element. Or is this a default action on the chromebook? I attached a screenshot that shows a gray background that only displays briefly during the use of touchscreen not when I use the cursor.

Sorry about that link. That's not what I intended. Your image appears to be normal highlighting (lowlighting in your case
) in any touchscreen (chromebook, windows, etc) as an indicator that your finger is actually hitting the icon that you intend to hit. I personally wouldn't want it to be off. However your mouse or touchpad should do the same thing. But the highlight should remain when you remove your finger. Jack E/NJ

Thanks for getting back to me. I assumed as much it was a OS feature, simply can not find any documentation regarding it. I will say it does not happen with a mouse, only on touch and is a quick flash. It does not stay the entire touch event.0

>>>It does not stay the entire touch event. >>>I don't have a chromebook so I'll ask another ACER user who might have one to comment on this. The Windows touchscreen stay highlighted or lowlighted after lifting finger. Jack E/NJ

Yes, it is the normal behavior, the same as if you clicked on the icon. The touchscreen doesn't normally track the cursor movement like a mouse does, so when you touch the cursor jumps to the location and generates a click event.
