Hmm. I actually do know what you're talking about. However, I thought I fixed any problems associated with this way-back when the hires branch was first started. Basically, the way how sony manages hires devices is to double everything. Well, not entirely everything, but most of the interal api functions. For example, if you click anywhere on the screen of a normal palm, you may click on the coordinates as (50,100). However, if you click on a sony device in the exact same position one would assume you're actually clicking onto (100,200). Infact, sony devices are communicating back to the program that's running that infact the user clicked onto (50,100) and it's the running program's responsibility to double the value so that the 'virtual' coordinates for whatever it is that is to respond actually responds, and everyone's happy. Obviously this is a bug with the program and you're just managing to hit onto the window that isn't being covered by the double-rule above. Handera, and OS5 devices won't have this problem by the way. > Went in again and found that each button on the toolbar (which I've > got on the bottom) can be selected by going directly up to the > middle of the screen.

Doesn't seem to happen with toolbar on top I just tested it out on my own device and saw the problem. I hadn't noticed it like this before partly becuase I usually keep my toolbar off :) I'll see what I can do about cleaning this up. Thx for the report. -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada
