iLiad is v1 running 2.12

When using mobipocket, if I have the dictionary search feature turned on and I put the stylus back into its slot it will search for the first word on the page. The only time this does not happen is if, when placing the stylus in its holder, you angle it away from the screen (back of the opening). If you angle it towards the screen or to the left/right of the opening it will end up performing a search.

I had only just got around to setting up dictionaries on the iLiad the week before I had to return it for battery replacement so I am not 100% sure if this was happening prior, but don't recollect it being so. It's a little annoying as I'd rather not have to turn on and off the search function just to search / replace stylus in iLiad.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
