Which means that my page will not receive any clicks at all in the horizontal band that includes the ActionButton - so if the ActionButton "floats" above a ListView, the bottom most entry in the ListView cannot be selected (unless it happens to be taller than the icon size).

A patch like this might fix the problem (but I'm not sure if this would
