This is a glitch that has persisted for me over several different Android devices. Pressing a small area on the left side of the screen will bring up the Mission tab, in flight. This can cause accidental and frustrating deaths.

I know it is a minor issue, I just thought I would make it known, if it was not previously.

Here is a quick video demonstrating the exact area of the screen that is affected:

Hmm, I think it could be your device's virtual buttons (menu, home, back).

For Samsung's you get that strip separate from screen. By pressing menu button, brings up VO missions tab (very handy, one less button).

I see what you mean, but that side of the screen is the side opposite the buttons, the way I hold the device.

Does this happen without droidbuttons?

Yes Yoda, it does indeed occur without droidbuttons. But I just avoid that part of the screen, so it's not really an issue now.
