Icon bar is not usable for me

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to tip an icon in the command bar at the bottom of the screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect the command to be executed. Instead, nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The one that is currently in the App Store, on an ipod touch with 3.1.2
firmware.

Please provide any additional information below.
Tapping an item has no effect, except of the scrollbar to appear.
Tapping and holding makes the item fade to green and sometimes open the
config menu (where you can set the items function).
Very, very rarely the command is executed. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? But
couldn't figure out how to use it correctly, sorry :)

This is strange.

Can you scroll the bar?
Have you tried several buttons (at least #, menu and abc should react)
Which generation is you iPod, and is it jailbroken?

Yes, i can scroll the bar without problems.
I don't know what menu and abc *should* do, i couldn't see any obvious 
reaction. I
managed to press # after several retries, it works if i only press the part of 
the
button which would not be covered by the scroll bar, and if I press it long 
enough
(about a second or so). I'm not experienced in programming neither user 
interfaces in
general nor mobile devices at all, but I'd guess the click event is caught by 
the
scrollbar widget instead.

I'm still a bit unsure about how to find out what "generation" my device is... 
it has
8GB of hard disk space? :D
And yes, it's jailbroken.

Your port of the game looks very good, anyway. Thanks. :)

8 Gigs? That could be 1st or 2nd. When did you buy it? I'm asking to get an 
idea of
your CPU speed. Any CPU-intensive background processes? Registering touches is 
one of
the first things disappearing when the CPU is overtaxed.

abc should bring up a keyboard, menu the main menu and # a list of extended 
commands,
all of which fills the whole screen or at least half of it.

You were asked role etc., and the screen looks like NetHack? Or is only the 
shortcut
bar appearing? Can you move your character around? Have to erased it completely 
both
from device and iTunes and then reinstalled?

If all fails, some devs recommend rebooting your iPod for some reason if 
performance
is sub-par.

Performance seems to be O.K., top doesn't show any CPU-
eating processes. 
I can move my Char w/o problems. I didn't and don't use iTunes, as i am à 
Linux user... I installed the 
App from the App Store. When starting up, I see the "native" selection menu, 
not the nethack one.

Best regards,
Sven

There is nothing really special with the shortcut bar, it's a regular subview 
that
handles touches. If you can move around touch handling should be fine. I guess I
can't do anything here. I have seen my share of bug reports but never ever 
someone
reported the shortcut bar to be non-responsive in any way). I'm currently 
rewriting
the whole engine for SlashEM from scratch, maybe the new incarnation will work 
for you.

Found the problem, another App called QuickScroll caused it. Works Fine now. :)
Thank you and sorry for opening this issue for nothing.

Best Regards, 
Sven
