Menu Options (LCDUI Commands) Missing in S40 SDK 2

[javadude]

This is my third post regarding possible bugs in S40 SDK 2 when compared with previous S40 SDKs & devices - see Unable to read Chinese resource file S40 SDK 2 and Buttons in LCD forms start on a new line in S40 SDK 2 for the others.

This time menu options go missing in S40 SDK 2.

I have the following

	protected List initStandardList()
	{
		if (standardList == null) {
			standardList = newStandardList();
			standardList.setCommandListener(new CommandListener()
			{
				public void commandAction(javax.microedition.lcdui.Command command, Displayable displayable)
				{
					if (command == commands.getSelect())
						controller.displayViewForm(standardList.getSelectedIndex());
					else if (command == commands.getDelete())
						controller.displayChoiceList();
					else if (command == commands.getBack())
						controller.back();
					else if (command == commands.getEdit())
						controller.displayEditForm(standardList.getSelectedIndex());
					else if (command == newEntityCmd)
						controller.displayEditor(false);
				}
			});
			standardList.addCommand(commands.getBack());
			if ((getCommandFlags()[EDIT_IDX] == true) && (getDomainController().isNewEntityAllowed()))
				standardList.addCommand(getNewEntityCommand());
		}
		if (controller.getSize() > 0) {
			standardList.setSelectCommand(commands.getSelect());
			if (getCommandFlags()[EDIT_IDX] == true) {
				standardList.addCommand(commands.getEdit());
				standardList.addCommand(commands.getDelete());
				standardList.addCommand(new javax.microedition.lcdui.Command("Dummy 1",
						javax.microedition.lcdui.Command.ITEM, 0));
				standardList.addCommand(new javax.microedition.lcdui.Command("Dummy 2",
						javax.microedition.lcdui.Command.ITEM, 0));
			}
		} else {
		...

The Back command is displayed (using the curly arrow in bottom RHS). Under the menu button (the three stacked horizontal bars) the following are listed: New <Entity> and Edit. The Delete option is NOT displayed (UNEXPECTED).

I added Dummy 1 & 2 to see if this was some sort of UI problem - i.e. if they would push the Delete option into view. They don't and furthermore they are not listed either (UNEXPECTED).

On S40 E6 all commands are displayed as expected - i.e. Back on RH soft key, Select on middle soft key, Options on LH soft key with Dummy 1, Dummy 2, Delete, New <entity> and Edit commands all listed.

How can you work-around such unexpected differences (bugs?) between S40 editions?

Is there a different implementation of the normal command soft keys - some sort of pop-up list, say - that works between editions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's the fix/workaround for anyone that comes across this problem:

This effected Touch UI versions of devices. The LCD Command was created using type.ITEM. Evidently, no item is selected in the Touch UI so the fix/workaround was to create the Command using type.SCREEN for all versions.

Is this related? The Nokia E6 is a Symbian^3 device and not Series 40. This is an issue for all touch enabled Series 40 phones (full-touch and touch-and-type).
