@John F: See
#167 for a workaround to the footer issue (I say workaround, because, of course, it's a trade-off: it kills the QuickTurn feature entirely. Which I have no use for, so it suits my needs perfectly, but YMMV
).
Which means I now have *zero* issue highlighting stuff on the first/last lines, despite *very* minimal margins (11 or 14px, depending on the device).
@FrustratedReader: Couldn't detect anything to note either with the touch input on my H2O, post-update. It's not great, but then it never really was.
