Hi there!

My Kobo Aura (2nd edition) has a problem where a certain spot on the top right corner keeps being pressed randomly (this was after catching a bit of water). Other than this, it is still working fine.

I would like to adjust the workable area of the Kobo to avoid the top 50-100 pixels. I followed the instructions in this thread suggested by the user tshering to change the following in the file koreader\frontend\device\kobo\device.lua

viewport = Geom:new{x=0, y=100, w=758, h=914},

However this did not work, as it seems that what this changes is the display only, but not the actual location of buttons. What I mean is that now there is a mismatch between where I press on the screen, and the location of the press the kobo detects.

Is there a way of changing also the location of the buttons, not just the display?
