Play/Stop After setting not retained - and sticky alt key [#21371]

[PoorBoy2001]

- Running MM 3074 and now 3078 on a new ASUS laptop. Occasionally when MM is running the ALT key becomes sticky - only solved by reboot.

- Possibly related to this: The Play/Settings/Stop After setting defaults to Off every time MM is started. Changing this setting to Every File triggered the key issue above - but it isn't repeatable every time.

- The only consistency so far is that the sticky ALT key issue only occurs when MM is running. I'll see if I can collect a debug log.

Hi,

If a reboot of Windows is really required, then I wonder if it's somehow related to this issue which has been fixed in build 3079. Can you try this test build and let me know if it solves the problem?

If it doesn't solve it: can you clarify what you mean when you say that ALT becomes sticky? Do you mean that it behaves as if it's being pressed continually? Does it happen when you press ALT in MediaMonkey to activate the menu bar? Or is it when you press an ALT combo in MediaMonkey (e.g. ALT-LEFT ARROW)? Or perhaps do you mean something like this issue? Or are you saying that it happens when MM is running and you press ALT in another app?

Thanks!

Running the test build today. Will advise.

ALT sticky means it behaves as if the ALT key is being held down continuously. It seems to arise sporadically, and isn't related directly to any activity in MM.

Have been running the test build all day today and so far no reoccurence. Will advise if this changes.

Oh, and please fix the play/stop after setting retention. It's a PITA

[Lowlander]

It's treated as playback status, it's only in the session. Just like playback is not continued after restart.

Lowlander, I agree about not persisting the Stop after setting for the Current File, but I can see the logic of persisting 'Stop after _every_ file'.
