Haven't found any bug tracker so will post here.

Bug #1. Buttons in help can become smaller and disappear eventually.
STR:
1. Open either "Lua Reference Manual" or "iLuaBox Help"
2. Tap on "Home" button (notice that back, forward and home buttons
became smaller)
3. Tap "Done"
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until buttons disappear

Bug #2. Opening manual can clear both input and output screens
1. Kill old instance of iLuaBox and launch new one
2. Make sure you have something in input and output screens
3. Open "Lua Reference Manual"
4. Tap on "Index" button (the 5th one)
5. Tap on "_G"
6. Tap "Done" button
7. Notice that input and output are empty

The second one is not 100% reproducible though. At some point I could
reproduce every other time, but once I killed all processes bug just
disappeared. Try opening and closing several apps before iLuaBox.

I have iPad 32Gb WiFi with 4.2.1

Thank you for submitting these details.

Bug #1 (shrinking button images in Help view) is fixed in v1.2.

Bug #2 (text sometimes cleared after viewing Help) needs a closer look, I'll post some comments as soon as possible.

Ok, now for bug #2 (text sometimes cleared after viewing Help).

It turns out that iLuaBox doesn't gracefully handle a low system memory condition when displaying the Lua Reference Manual or iLuaBox Help.  This low memory condition is not caused by iLuaBox, but iLuaBox needs to handle it better.

A fix has been identified and is being tested.  It will be included in version 1.2.1 which will be available after version 1.2 hits the App Store (hopefully very soon :).

In the meantime if this issue comes up, it is recommended that you exit iLuaBox and restart your device.

Thank you Slava once again for your help with this issue.
