Steps to reproduce this

Touches array doesn't seem to clear correctly when the number of screen touches is more than 5. If I touch the screen with 1-5 touches, letting them all go works fine, but anywhere above 5 and the array doesn't clear until I touch again, even if I stop touching one finger at a time.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using p5.js 1.4.1 on Safari 16.3.1 for iOS by releasing more than five simultaneous touches one at a time. Start by locating the touch-event handling, then verify that the touches array is empty immediately after all touches are released, without requiring another touch.
