Hello,

I am building a game and am currently setting up the UI right now. I placed image buttons where I want them and I have noticed that if I hold my finger somewhere on the screen (not on a button) and I press a button with the second finger it won’t be clicked. If I hold down another button and hit another button with a second finger it does click. How can I make it so that the background being held reacts the same way as if I’m holding a button?  
If you don’t understand my question just ask me.

Thanks,
