Recently I've started using Koreader on my Kobo Aura H20 reader because of its superior PDF support. However, I'm experiencing quite an annoying problem, which someone here might know something about. The problem itself is that I'm not able to tap/select anything, including menu items, in the top-left corner of the screen. For example, I'm not able to select the first (leftmost) 2 items on the top menu. Does anyone has any idea what might be causing this?

For the time being the only workaround I've come up with is switching to landscape mode, in which case the menu item moves in the bottom-left corner, where I can select it.

I understand this could easily be a problem with my device, but the strange part is that using the default Kobo firmware (a.k.a. nickel), I'm not having such a "blind spot" on the screen: I can successfully tap the top-left menu icon.

If nothing comes to mind regarding the cause for this behavior, can someone suggest a workaround that will enable me to tap on the first 2 menu items without having to switch to landscape mode? For example, is there a way to configure Koreader to, let's say, use only the right/east 80% of the screen for rendering the menu?
