           Summary: N800 running OS2008 forgets it has any hardware buttons
           Product: System software
           Version: 4.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Input method framework
        AssignedTo: mdamt at maemo.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla770 at nmacleod.com
         QAContact: input-method-framework-bugs at maemo.org


My N800 is running 1.2007.42-18 of OS2008 - admittedly, this is the OS2008
designed for the N810.

Very often my N800 will forget it has buttons - the buttons just stop working.

They no longer make a "click" system sound, they no longer function and are
completely ignored by the desktop and applications. I have to reboot the device
in order for them to function again. The only button that consistently
continues to function is the Power button - all other buttons (+/-, full
screen, d-pad, home/menu/escape) all become non-functional when this bug
strikes.

Quite often I can trigger this bug by locking the device - the N800 will
usually forget it has any buttons once the device is locked, which is
particularly unfortunate as it is then impossible to unlock the device while
the d-pad center button no longer operates. A reboot is necessary to regain
control.

The touchscreen is not affected when this bug occurs, it is only the buttons
that stop working. It doesn't always happen when the device is locked, as right
now I have the device unlocked but without any functional buttons.

Unfortunately I have no idea what has triggered this bug. I never "lost" the
buttons when using OS2007 but this happens all the time with OS2008.

This is a particularly annoying bug and for me it happens extremely often, I
would guesstimate I have a 50/50 chance of losing button functionality whenever
I lock the device.

I would have set severity to "Major" for this bug, but I realise this is
"unofficial" firmware that may not have been designed/tested/intended for the
N800.
