Using Perspective 8.1.26 and Chrome browser on a touch screen, to resolve the problem that the text on a button was selected with a long press on the button, under Styles, I added the stylesheet.css with the entry:

```auto
* {
-webkit-touch-callout: none;	/* for Safari on iOS only */
-webkit-user-select: none;	/* for Safari */
user-select: none;
}

```

(The entry was suggested in [Perspective Mouse event, disable cut/copy/paste on iPad - #11 by Chris\_Kociolek](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-mouse-event-disable-cut-copy-paste-on-ipad/25650/11); the \* means the styling will apply to every component)

For individual components, adding the key value pair of "user-select: none" in the textStyle properties of the component also works.

Adding the event handler suggested in [Perspective disable right click menu on touchscreen](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-disable-right-click-menu-on-touchscreen/65595) did not work.
