The OpenPageSelector stopped working on devices at some point (it didn't show itself), so I replaced it with the Numeric keypad. The OpenDirectorySelector is difficult to use on older Inkpad models (the items are too small to select reliably). The status bar was moved from the bottom of the page on old systems to the top of the page on new systems. That sounds simple, but it caused lots of problems because of the way it was achieved in the code. One of the problems is that the page tabs in the OpenContents dialog are shown in the status bar. That makes sense in the old code where the status bar is at the bottom of the page, but it looks weird on newer devices and you can't seem to use them there. Try enabling the status bar and then opening the contents menu. If the page tabs work for you, then you can use those to jump between pages of contents. Even if they don't work, the arrow icons at the top will probably be easier to use because they aren't in the corners of the screen anymore.
One of the other problems with the new status bar is that a lot of information about the document being read was removed from it. It used to show the page number, the name of the image currently shown, a page map showing what portion of the image was being shown on the screen,... It was useful and many preferred displaying it when reading. Now none of that information appears and it is mostly a waste of space on the screen, so it is usually disabled.
Maybe I should look at temporarily enabling the status bar when the OpenContents dialog is shown. That may make that dialog more usable on newer devices.
