Hi,



when I click on the three-dotted-menu on the top right corner, the same menu comes up as when I tap on my hardware menu button. When the menu is called via the softbutton (three-dotted-thing), it works completely like a charme. So far so good.



But when I call it via the hardware button, the menu entries "Tools" and "Tweaks" show no reaction (besides hiding the menu itself). This worked well a few days ago. All the other menu entries work well.



IMHO there can be two reasons for the error:

1. New version 5.5.22 of OruxMaps

2. CyanogenMod 11 M7 (Was Stock Android 4.1.2 of Samsung before)



Both I installed after my holiday.



I already deleted all data including cache of OruxMaps and reinstalled it from the Playstore, but nothing solved the problem.

Hi,



it is an unusual behaviour, because the 'three dot' buttons should not appear in devices with hardware buttons. It is not 'android conform'.



but will be solved in next version.

Actually not.  Since Kitkat Android forces the overflow menu to appear.  Google is apparently tired of manufacturers still using the deprecated menu button (me too,  but I guess it doesn't matter much).
