[Prime] Shutdown timer bug? Message #1 Posted by Cristian Arezzini on 16 Nov 2013, 7:12 a.m. I just received my Prime, and have been browsing the contents for a few hours. I was checking the advanced grapher's demo images. I was scrolling through them with the left/right cursors (I didn't touch any other key). It appears that the cursor keys do reset the timeout for the backlight intensity (i.e. if the screen gets dark, pushing a cursor key does bring the luminosity back up); but they don't reset the shutdown timer (i.e. no matter how many times or how often I press the cursor buttons, after a while the calculator just shuts off, even if I had just pressed a cursor button). Is this a known bug? Cristian
