E65 left soft key

[eranyahoo]

hi

i've developed an application for Nokia 6280.
the left softkey is opening a menu screen.
for some reason, when i've adjusted the application to E65, each time i press the left softkey, it performes as if it was pressed twice - i see it opened and closed imidiatly. futher more, i've printed the action to the console and it indeed indicates that two presses where made.
i've checked it on two different devices, and it acted the same.
what makes it do that, and how do i solve it?

thanks, eran

To help us to troubleshoot: Are you using high-level UI (forms and commands) or Canvas (I suppose Canvas, but wanted to clarify)
How are you handling the keyPresses in the code?

i am using canvas.
i have a class that is called Screen.
the screen has a method paint().
the canvas has a vector of Screens.
when the left softkey is pressed, a menu screen is added to the vector and is painted above the main screen, on the bottom left corner.

When the user presses the left sk again, the screen is removed from the vector and is no longer presented.

What happens in E65 (and not in other decices - such as nokia 6280 on N95) is that for some reason, pressing on the left SK results two presses, and the menu screen is shown and disappears immediately.

I have seen the similar behaviour in an E50. If the case is like if you press LSK once and it generates key code two times, I guess you have to go for a workaround. Some thing like ignoring the first key press if its pressed twice && if the pressed key is LSK && the duration between two key press events is very small.(Just a naughty workaround that came quick to my mind.)

Also try if this problem persists in latest firmware as well.
