Options menu disappears in 5th edition

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Mobbler 0.4.3 
2. Open the menu by clicking the left button
3. Either wait until the text starts scrolling (at least in swedish
version, the "listen to a radio station" starts scrolling) or scroll up and
down on the menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing special, the menu should be scrolling, but (especially disturbing
in landscape mode) the menu starts flickering and becomes transparent, this
makes it hard to see what to click, since only the selected text string is
visible.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4.3 on S60v5 (nokia 5800 XM)

Please provide any additional information below.

Ideally all text should be able to fit 
on the menu so that it doesn't need 
to be scroll.

Please could you suggest a shorter 
or an alternative Swedish translation 
that would fit on the menu without 
scrolling?

Thanks!

For me (Nokia 5800XM, spanish, 0.4.5) still flickets sometimes.

For exemple: 

(1) open Mobbler
(2) try to connect (Options->Connect)
(3) cancel the access point menu

After the popup stating an error connection, the underlying menu just shows the 
first line from the Options menu and it flickers.

It happens to me too. A few seconds after I open the menu, it becomes all 
transparent
except for the selected entry. It makes it extremely difficult to select 
anything
from the menu, since I can't see anything. A workaround I found: the menu turns
visible (and stays that way) if I trigger screen auto-rotation.
(Nokia 5800 XM and Samsung i8910 HD, italian, 0.6.5124)

Here are screenshots of the issue, taken on both i8910 HD and 5800 XM. Please 
do not
ignore this bug, because it's not 'fixed' by any reasonable definition of the 
word.

Let's re-open this issue. There are two related things here.

It only happens for 5th edition phones, and only in languages other in English.

Firstly, some of the translations are too long and don't fit on the menus, so 
would 
be truncated and chopped short with an ellipsis (...), or need to be marquee 
scrolled. Ideally they should all fit on the menu without truncating or 
scrolling.

That's where you, tonilounavarro and rvirga, can help us and yourselves out! If 
you 
find any text like this that is too long, please head over to the Language page 
and 
create some better, more concise menu text, and send it to us. We can put it in 
the 
next version.

http://code.google.com/p/mobbler/wiki/Language

Secondly, as there was so much text that didn't fit, we turned on the S60 
feature 
that allows the menu text to marquee scroll if it's too wide. This is fine on 
3rd 
edition phones, but it seems there's a bug in some the 5th edition that causes 
this 
problem. This has been fixed in S60, but it will take a long time for it to get 
the 
5800 and i8910 firmware, if at all. In the meantime, the Forum Nokia advice is 
to 
make sure all the strings fit (see above!). And perhaps we could turn the 
marquee 
off for 5th edition phones. Eartle, what do you think?

i am italian and i am getting the same error...i would suggest a way to fix 
it...
these are the values that are not fitting on the screen and the way they could 
do it...

original - fix proposal

1)avvia una nuova stazione - avvia nuova stazione
2)controlla aggiornamenti - cerca aggiornamenti
3)disattiva lo scrobbling - disattiva scrobbling 
(attiva lo scrobbling - attiva scrobbling)
4)spegimento automatico - auto spegnimento
5)esci (termina lo scrobbling) - esci

and of course there is a non translated voice in the italian version... 
Search remains search...

and it should be 

Trova ---> Tracce
           Albums
           Artisti
           Tags

i hope this helps for future releases

i sent my fix Italian text file proposal to the stated email address...it was 
sort of
already fixed...i guess you are still implementing it to the new version, but,
anyway, i sent my version of the file modifying some voices to make menu voices 
clear
but short at the same time.
i hope it's good :)

Hi Francesco, thanks for the update, we'll take a look at those. Rvirga had 
already 
submitted some shortened menu text to hopefully fix this bug (for Italian 
only), but 
it's not been released yet.

Happy to help the community!
Ok, that's why i found the file already fixed compared to the last downloadable
version of mobbler.
I just changed something by my own cos some words weren't that clear imho.
Hope the bug will be fixed for the next release :)

We'll also turn off scrolling for 5th edition phones.

mmmm, can't have a look, link is not working

Original comment by francesc...@gmail.com on 24 Jul 2009 at 10:33

We're changing the source control from Subversion to Mercurial and having some 
source configuration problems at the moment. The changes in r760 for this fix 
basically are:

mobblerstatusview.cpp:

    aMenuPane->EnableMarqueeL(ETrue);

to:

    // Third edition only due to an S60 5th edition bug (issue 364)
    aMenuPane->EnableMarqueeL(!iMobblerStatusControl->IsFifthEdition());

And a new public function in mobblerstatuscontrol.h:

    TBool IsFifthEdition() const { return (iMobblerFeedback != NULL); }

cool, fine. i hope everything will be fixed in the next release.
And, by the way, when is the next release planned to come out?

Original comment by francesc...@gmail.com on 28 Jul 2009 at 10:46

Soon you'll be able to install any language for Mobbler, regardless of your 
phone's 
language. And you'll be able to have the latest language update without having 
to 
wait for a new Mobbler release.

Attached are the Italian and Spanish files, that should fix this problem for 
you 
before we release the next full version. Please can you try them and let us 
know how 
you get on?

If you ever want to get rid of the language file, it will be listed as "Mobbler 
language" in the application mananger.

Thank you.

I've tried the Italian file - works like a charm! On both Nokia 5800 and Samsung
i8910 HD. Thanks!
