I tried a few things, but I found them not to be useful in our case. To
the contrary, they seem to happen at random (or wrongly) too. They seem
to be there to seperate lines in drawings or whatever, but I'm not sure
exactly when they are valuable.

As an input device I get the best user experience when we ignore them. I
don't want them to break "clicking" or the like.
