Problem description
For phetsims/qa#900, in Studio, if I add objects to the play area and then launch the sim, the 'Tap circuit element to edit' message isn't there. It appears after selecting an object or adding another object to the play area.

Steps to reproduce

1. In Studio, add object to play area --Tap message is on the bottom of the screen
2. Press Test button --Tap message isn't there

I am also seeing odd things in the State Wrapper with this. For example:

1. Set State Rate = 0
2. Add a couple of elements to the upstream sim and press Set State Now--the 'Tap circuit' message doesn't appear in the downstream sim
3. Hit Set State Now again --the message appears in the downstream sim
4. Press Reset All in the upstream sim and then press Set State Now -- the elements disappear in the downstream sim, but the the 'Tap circuit' message is still there.

@arouinfar agrees that this is important to fix for the PhET-iO release milestone. @samreid @zepumph and I will work on this.

Fixed, @Nancy-Salpepi can you please verify?

This is working nicely in both Studio and State wrappers now in master 🙂.
