Hi Pawel,
You're right! Thanks for clearing that up :)

Facing the exact problem. The interrupt handler resumes once i manually read the ISR. However I must also add, I'm 'simulating' the interrupts using a wire.

I tried Low Level triggering with no difference.
But I do vaguely remember reading somewhere that only certain pins on the PIO are capable of different trigger modes? In that case i'm probably still on the default edge-triggering mode.
