Get your Gingerbread Simpsons off their couch - they break neighbour taps !!

I haven't seen this mentioned yet.

I reciprocated a visit from a neighbor and they had nothing to tap. Smallish town so i searched until l found their gingerbread couch with the Simpsons sitting on it. I tapped it and heard the crunching sound effect though the Simpsons remained sitting on the couch. I left their town and went back in and, ta-daah!, there were buildings to tap. The Simpsons were still sitting on the Gingerbread couch.

Could somebody else verify this, please?
