With Tekla running, can't answer phone calls

[William Li]

* SGH-i897 phone (Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, AT&T in the US)
* Android 2.1
* Tekla from Launchpad Web site, not the Market (before 0.4-alpha)

While the Tekla keyboard is active, my phone would vibrate and get calls, but the call screen would not show up. I couldn't answer phone calls.

Tekla should not interfere with your call screen. Do you mean the screen you get with the name/picture of the caller and a slider to answer the call?

Samsung may have used a custom handler which may not be following best accessibility practices. Even then though, Tekla should not prevent it from showing up. Could you try installing a different call handler /dialer app to see if that changes anything?

Tested the pre-0.4 alpha version again and did not get this problem. The call screen showed up fine; it was just inaccessible through the Tekla arrows/keyboard. In principle, yes, I could get another dialer and try it - my SGH-i897 dialpad also has issues working with Tekla, it seems.

That is consistent with other reports for the Galaxy S. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/meadl/+bug/677302

Will keep the bug open for now in case other issues arise, otherwise it will be marked a duplicate of the one above.
