Minor bugs in Stanza v1.9.x

Hi,

Thanks for the 1.9.1 release with the page freeze fix. This is very helpful for epubs from ManyBooks/Gutenberg that do not have chapters (4000 page +). I have however discovered bugs that are minor yet annoying so it would be great to have those fixed :-)
*Display bugs after using the setting menu: after using the setting menu (through the gear icon on the top right corner and then the Stanza setting menu) and going back to the main page, the top bar with the clock overlaps The bar that says Library. It does the same for the Stanza Credits munu as well. Going landscape and back to portrait seems to eventually fix the overlap
*Crash in the "downloads" screen in landscape mode. When selecting the download screen (from the main menu or from a onlione catalog menu) and if something is downloading at that time, going in landscape mode from portrait will close Stanza. This does not occur if nothing is currently downloading. This is somewaht annoying as when it closes the download is actually lost if it was in progress.
*Wifi connection request: this is not exactly a bug and more a missing feature. If I have not gotten connected yet to a WIFI network, going to the online catalog will just return "no internet connection". It would be great if it could launch the wifi selection box if networks are available. I don't know if this is possible ...

By the way I'm using stanza from an Ipod touch Gen 2 if it makes any difference.

Thanks for providing such a great App.

using iPhone 1st generation, I was surprized when the new version started page freezing.

Can you try resetting

Can you try resetting Stanza's preferences (by tapping the upper-right gears button from the top-level "Library" screen, tapping preferences, then scrolling to the bottom and tapping the reset button) and see if the problem still occurs? If it does, can you let us know if it is happening with multiple books, or just one specific one?

withak is correct that we can't launch the WiFi settings, but we've logged the other two bugs and we expect to fix them soon. Thanks for the reports.

I doubt apple lets developers

I doubt apple lets developers do anything with the wifi settings.
