The issue with the "Options" bubble not appearing near the top of the screen is corrected. But honestly, I'm not sure what is happening with the original post. I don't have this problem. But I suspect if I saw what was going on I'd have some ideas. I'll ask around the office see if anyone else recognizes this description.

What I've seen is that this sometimes happens when you tap the text in a menu. If you tap the circle to the left of the text this doesn't seem to happen.

Cobra, and everyone else: The audible chirp is somewhat misleading - it only means the device recognized your finger touched the screen, but it has nothing to do with whether or not you actually touched the "sweet spot" of a button. No matter where you touch the screen it will give a chirp - anywhere and everywhere it chirps, unlike your cell phone which only chirps to signal you actually hit a valid menu choice or key on the keyboard. I do not have this touch-lag issue on my 720, but I have learned that I have to PRESS with authority (using my fingernail) on the "sweet spot" of a button and not tap the screen timidly. Incidentally, I've turned off the audible chirp since it serves no useful purpose, IMHO. ===Ralph

PA-22,

To be clear, I do understand how the device works. Anyone who has used an iFly for more than about 3 minutes has probably aimed for a button and missed, heard the click but didn't see the visual feedback, recognized that they missed the button, and tried again.

That is NOT what I'm talking about.

As I clearly stated in my original post, this problem is that the box gives both audible AND visual feedback, and then nothing happens.

Again, from my original post:

When you hit the button, hear the chirp, see the button flash, and then nothing happens, that is frustrating.

When you hit a menu selection, hear the chirp, SEE THE MENU SELECTION HIGHLIGHTED BLUE, and nothing happens, that is frustrating.

And when someone tries to tell you that you are imagining things, that is also frustrating. :)

Cobra, Try this: If you touch a button and hold it will 'highlight''. Without releasing the button, drag your finger away from the button, then release your touch. This should recreate the behavior you describe; but this is by design, it's an intuative way to "abort" a button push. And it works on most buttons, menu items, etc.

But of course this shouldn't happen accidentally. I suspect your screen may be out of calibration and it's confusing your touch points. Try using a stylus to touch the map at various points. Is the pop-up market appearing at the exact spot you touch?
