Howshall — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:58:56 GMT

Current information below relates to Test Release v2.1.2.1

Known Issues

- Issues with higher resolution displays
Newsgator Go! client does not work well on non-standard WM screen resolutions. Problems are overlapping options in Settings menus, small scrollbar in Items List View and tiny icons on Overview screen.

- Issues with 'Mouse Pointer' of newer WM6.1 devices
Newsgator Go! client does not allow opening of individual feed items on devices using a on-screen mouse pointer associated with newer WM device 'scroll pads' instead of more tradditional 4-way directional rocker pads.
A workaround does exist by changing Windows Mobile's Start > Settings > System > Pointer to work in legacy '4-Way Navigation' instead of Mouse mode. For more detail see: http://forum.newsgator.com/Topic46281-56-1.aspx

- Issues with feeds or downloads/podcasts on storage cards
At least on WM6+ devices there seems to be an potential issue about the way NewsGator Go writes to files on the storage card meaning that there is an increased likelyhood of corruption for files over 99.7Kb in file size, which means this may affect larger RSS feed cache files as well as all downloads/podcasts

- 'Top Posts' only partially listens to choosen sort ordering
There is an issue that if a user changes the default sort ordering from descending to ascending in Settings screens then 'Top Posts' list re-orders correctly, but not the click-throughs to the item detail behind that list, so user will find themselves at last post detail when selecting first item, and vica versa.

- Title truncation does not work reliably if there are not enough items to generate vertical scrollbar in item list view
