Problems with my xv6800 5-way navigation buttons (D-Pad)

[forvisor]

Recently I have found some weird problem with my Titan. Some times after turning it on after a night of charging and I use the 5-way navigation buttons (d-pad) on the front of the phone the phone seems to think that I never let go of the down button. It will continue to scroll down and then after awhile the buttons don’t work at all. I have to soft reset to get them back and then sometimes the pattern repeats. The phone knows that I have pressed one of the buttons because if the screen dims I can press one of them to bring it back to full rightness just no moving the highlighting bar around. I have had my phone for about 2-3 weeks now and can’t understand it. It was new in the box when I got it at a Verizon store. I almost think that it’s a software problem but was wondering what you all might think. I’m using the stock rom and have the following apps installed.

SK tools
TCPMP
Palringo (im software) Don’t have it running when the problem occurs
SPB weather
Opera
Bejeweled 2
Google Maps
