I'm sporadically having trouble editing tasks, using the built in Tasks application. Right after I enter it, it's no problem. I click on the task and it takes me to the details, and I get the edit menu. It's all good.
But then after my ppc shuts off, and I turn it back on and go into the tasks list, it's like it's in some kind of weird mode. When I click on a task, it just gets highlighted with a blue background -- no transition to a details screen, much less an edit menu. I click on multiple tasks it multi-selects them, they all get highlighted. If I hold the pen down on a task I'm selected the choices I have are to make a copy or delete the task. I'm sure I'm just missing something fundamental here, but any clues what's going on? I'm a fairly experienced Palm user but have just recently made the shift to PPC and I'm still trying to adjust to the little differences in the way things are done.
The only way I've been able to fix it so far when this happens is to do a soft reset. Even ending "Tasks" from the running programs and restarting it doesn't seem to fix it. I know there has got to be a better way!
Thanks for any suggestions!

PS: I'm using a Toshiba e740 if it matters.
