Is there another list of known issues+bugs for the iphone app?

If not, this seems like a good place to start reporting new ones.

Here is one to start:

Move Alert Sound OFF not working:  It is set to OFF in the preferences, but still get a text-like sound when someone moves. 

Update: I notice the sound alert doesn't occur if the app is open. Only when the app is closed or in background. 

While we are here, it would be nice to be able to at least pick the sound for the alert.

When I load up a new online game it has the submitted button onthe bottom. I have to make a move then hit cancel in order to see the analysis board button.

In fact whenever you submit a move, the Sumitted button is "stuck" in all your games.  As a consequence, if it's not your turn in a game, so you can move and cancel, you can't get the menu bar that includes the analysis button. This is bad when you have several games going on. 

This bug is mentioned in several reviews at the app store.  Is this being looked at by developers?  Any estimates on when it will be fixed? 

PS: Chess-With-Friends puts an alert box when sending a move, which dissapears automatically once the move is sent, so there is no "view" to refresh. This seems like a nicer approach to move submission.

About the "Stuck on Submitted" bug described above:

It happens with iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1 (8B117), but...

it does not happen in iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.2 (8A400).  Any others?

Today I re-installed the app and this bug is gone Laughing

The reason I had to remove the app in the first place was that I couldn't turn off the Alert-Sound. Maybe this is fixed too....
