I have an issue with my old Kobo Aura Edition 2 v1 with firmware 4.38.21908 (downgraded to 4.38.21908 for using patch that I found here). There is a ghost touch on top bar menu hitting continuously the wifi and battery icons. I tried all recommendations, cleaning, charging, resetting, moving to Koreader/Nickel menu. None solved the issue. It is definitely due to the hardware.

Then I thought of changing the padding of the top bar menu but the reading header/footer is not controlled by CSS string, it uses compiled binary code. That is the reason I am coming here, to know if someone is able to write the binary patch and help me to solve this issue by adding margin-top or shift the top status bar down.

Thanks very much in advance.
If you patched 4.38.21908 and installed it on a later firmware, go an install 4.38.23684 unpatched and see what happens. You should never install a different firmware when you patch. It should always be the same firmware as the one you are using.
