I hadn't intended to change the general behaviour of the menus except in a couple of cases (eg the zero-key shortcut menu) though I did have to re-work a lot of the key-press handling code, so there might be something that I've missed or changed by mistake. My W910 doesn't have the Back key, but I'll try it again on my W800 later and see if that does anything odd...

Just tried JP5/6 version instead, and all seems to be back to normal on the menu front...
Did only had a very quick look this morning, so if I notice anything strange when I have a more extensive 'play' I'll let you know.
Looking back, I think I've always previously use this version, this was the first time I used JP7, so the difference was me, rather than you.

Just out of interest what are the differences as far as TMJ is concerned between the two versions?

There's not much between these versions, its mostly to do with how the phone determines which keycodes map to the keys themselves. J2ME tries to help out with this by giving the keycode for some preset 'gaming' keys, eg UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, FIRE, GAME_A, GAME_B, etc. Trouble is that not all phones seem to map these to sensible keys so a lot of the different versions have the keycodes hardcoded into the JAR file (based on testing on the individual devices or their emulators). The JP5/6 version does actually use the phones builtin codes, whereas the JP7 version has these hardcoded (based on testing on a K800i - I'll have to check this again next time I've got access to that particular handset).

Incidentally I've noticed a couple of other bugs that have cropped up due to the changes in the key-handling code. The [*] key no longer clears the track/route on starting the program, and the 'KC' keycode shown on screen when 'Show Debug Info' is enabled gives an incorrect value. I'll probably release a minor update in the next few days to fix this...
