No options shown in HUD

[Tim Peeters]

After booting the device (galaxy nexus), HUD works fine for me, but after some time (I noticed this after compiling packages on-device using QtCreator - so without installing them), the options disappear. For example, when I open the photo gallery, open a photo, and display hud, none of gallery's options (such as color balance, delete, share) are accessible. Same problem with phone-app.

Restarting the application a few times some times helps, and restarting the device completely always fixes the problem (until it shows up again).

I haven't found a reliable way of reproducing the bug.

tested on phablet daily image: 125

I have the phone sitting on my desk with Gallery and HUD UI open. Now after some time I notice that the HUD is not updating it's results anymore.

hud-service is running.

killing the shell and restarting Gallery gets HUD to work again. Looking at ps aux output it seems that the hud-service also respawned when killing the shell.

Fix committed into lp:hud at revision 258, scheduled for release in hud, milestone Unknown

Unduping this. It seems that there is the correct number of separators so it's unlikely that it lost connection to the service, which is what this bug (and it's patch) fixes.
