309817 - Minimo Obscures the Menu Bar on Windows Mobile 2003 SE for Pocket PC

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Minimo Graveyard :: Minimo Front-End, defect)

Description

[Robert Parenton]

On Windows Mobile 2003 SE for Pocket PC on an HP iPAQ hx2415, Minimo v0.009
obscures the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.  Compare the attached Minimo
screenshot with the attached IE screenshot.

The behavior shown in the IE screenshot is what I see in every other app except
for Minimo.

Minimo is a full screen application -- we don't need a taskbar (menubar).  The
camera application is similar.

This causes a problem with changing the input tool.  When the input selector
does appear, it covers most of the scroll button and there is no easy way to get
it to go away.

Addition to comment #4.  See the attachment #197221 [details] for an example.

yeah, i see your point.  I just think it is a waste to have a 24 px area at the
bottom of the screen.

What I have done is hide the input selector until it is required (until focus
goes  into an editable region).
