My wife recently took an interest in the Scribe and has been testing mine out to see how she likes the device, and it seems she has stumbled on what appears to be a fundamental issue with the device.

My wife is left-handed and writes in the typical "claw" style favored by many lefties, i.e. her hand rests on the sheet above the line currently being written (basically to avoid getting ink on her hand). Whenever she writes in her usual way on the Scribe, her hand naturally tends to rest on the top part of the screen, which constantly brings down the top options drawer. This is very disruptive and basically renders the device completely unusable for her.

As far as I know, there is no way to disable the top drawer. Short of re-learning how to write, do you guys know of any solution or workaround to this? The design here seems really short-sighted, seeing that a lot of left-handed people write in this manner.
