I commented on the bug issue: <a href="https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8011">https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8011</a><br><br>I did more tests and it actually works much better than before and than I thought :)<br>
<br>If Media Player is running, it'll always gets the rockers' events (even with the screen locked and dimmed! I recall you had to activate the screen before to change the volume).<br>If the Media Player is running and the foremost application is handling the events for his own purposes, the Media Player still gets the events as expected.<br>
<br>However if Media Player is not running, or music is stopped, than the foremost application gets to handle the events and zoom in/put or whatever it was programmed to do with them.<br><br>I assume this is a feature (as there'd be no way to know if that is a music application or not) and the application is free to do whatever it wants.<br>
<br>I will change Xournal and make sure it won't zoom in/out if it gets those events and the screen is locked.<br>I don't think any user would want to zoom in/out when the screen is locked :)<br><br>Thanks for listening!<br>

Hi guys,<br><br>earlier versions of N900 allowed the volume to be changed when the screen was locked.<br>This nice behaviour was disabled later and re-enabled in the latest firmware incarnation.<br><br>However, this now behaves differently.<br>
If an application that handles the zoom keys is the foremost application before locking the screen,<br>then the zoom events goes to that application even though you can't see it.<br><br>For example Xournal and Microb will both zoom in/out if you press the +/- keys when the screen is locked<br>
and nothing appears on the screen (of course) .<br><br>Before filing the bug, I would like to check if the apps should RELEASE the keys handling someone when the screen is locked or if this is a bug in the way the lock screen handles them?<br clear="all">
