   I am testing my game on two devices, a first gen iPod Touch with 2.2.1 and a 3GS with 3.1. Everything is fine on the 3GS but on the iPod something seems different with the touch handling. I have a menu item image and if I put one finger on it then tap on it a bunch with another finger while dragging the first finger off the button the menu will become unresponsive, I think a touch never gets the TouchEnded call so then the menu is still waiting for a release. It is not a huge bug as it seems to be fine on the new OS and it takes a seemingly random amount of events to trigger it, but it is still a problem when the game seems to be unresponsive.

   Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?

   I found this same issue with my iPhone 3G running 3.1. I'm using cocos2d version 8.2. I have yet to figure out how to fix this. Your thought makes sense - that the TouchEnded isn't getting called in cases of rare double-tap or something on a MenuItem.

   As an hack fix, I sub-classed Menu and added a reset function that clears any selected items sets menustate back to waiting. I can then call this if it gets stuck.

   
-(void) reset
{
// clear any selected menuItems from double-tap bug
state = kMenuStateWaiting;
for(MenuItemSprite *item in children)
{
[item unselected];
}
}
