I get it all the time when entering text using the on-screen keyboard and stylus (I don't use the thumb board).
Thankfully I don't normally enter a lot of text - just urls and CLI commands but if was normally typing in a lot I think I'd have flung the n800 out the window long ago .

I could have sworn that D-Pad scrolling problem was Fixed-in-Fremantle. Oh well .

I vote for including this

I used to get it too, but since I changed the screen I didn't see it anymore, so I'm not sure it's software only.
Now, I'm not using my n800 very much since I changed the screen, so that's may be another reason I don't see the issue.

Bug 2394 is about the stylus keyboard (see the description - the summary was incorrectly changed at some point by a triager but there's little point reopening now).

According to that bug report the issue was fixed in chinook, but if some people are still having it there could be a hardware bug specific to some N800s. Maybe the reason I'm not experiencing it is that mine had the touchscreen replaced (due to bug 1069). In any case, without a patch or even reproducibility there's not much I can do about it, sorry :-(

That's actually a good reason for it to be included (since it obviously can't go to extras).

However I'm not crazy about configuring via a fragile text file (especially in /etc, thus requiring root permissions). Does anyone feel like updating the patch to use something like a GConf string? Then someone could even write a control panel applet for configuring it.

Also, is there anything that can be done to make text changes apply without requiring a reboot? Killing systemui sounds like one way to do it, but does it break anything else?

I've always thought of GConf as the place to store one-liner strings...
A control panel applet that has a "helper" program whitelisted in sudoers would probably work.

Well, it appears that the file is read each time HildonCodeDialog is instantiated by a program. I wouldn't think systemui would keep a static instance of the HildonCodeDialog that it instantiates. That said, a watch could be kept.

Nah, too many unnecessary moving parts :-) If it's got to be in the filesystem let's stick it somewhere under /home/user (or even better /home/user/.osso so it gets backed up/restored automatically without additional configuration).

That said, a watch could be kept.
Hm, is there a GIOCondition that would notify for file creation? Maybe inotify could work instead, but either way adding an application-specific main loop callback inside a widget library seems dirty to me.

Good point. Truth be told, I don't think there really needs to be a watch. I haven't checked it, but I think systemui keeps instantiating a new instance of HildonCodeDialog each time. And who's gonna modify the text file while the tablet is locked?

I found a dirty solution, mostly by accident, that you can find in this post.

The only other bug to mention that I get consistently is always having to slide the volume button just a titch after making or receiving a phone call.

Many others have reported this bug as well.

Thanks for your contributions to Diablo.
Wow. First time I've ever quoted myself. This feels weird.

Anyway, I was at least hoping to get a response on this.

Thanks.
