Weird menu behaviour

[oreillymj]

Hi,

Anyone noticed this in the Settings menu of the SB2

Go to Settings->Information->Library Statistics

Click the left button on the remote.

The display quickly displays

Information->Information

It doesn't affect functionality, it's just a glitch I've noticed.

is that just before it scrolls into the new mode?

if so, this is probably a legacy update() call that is no longer needed
after Triode's recent animation upgrades.

It's hard to explain in words, but basically when moving from the root of the menu ("Settings") to the right ("Information", then "Library statistics") is fine.

But press the left key and you see Inofrmation flash by quickly replaced by Information.

Kdf,

The reason is that Information.pm does two popModeRights on exiting. I'll not change this as I don't understand how Information is handelling modes fully - any suggestions?

This is what happens if you put back traces into push and update
(you should get one push and then an update on a timer [which would start scrolling if necessary]):

nothing immediate. can this be filed as a bug report? I'll try to
take a look at it. Some might be legacy, some might be simply
transitional code that got left in mid-change.

popping twice is often done when a mode immediately jumps into an
INPUT.* mode on enter. Information, as well as Settings does this.
Oddly, moving left from Information into Settings doesn't seem to have
the same effect as moving left into Information. BrowseDB and
BrowseTree also pop twice, but don't use the Animated versions.
Changing to popMode, instead of popModeRight in Information.pm should
work.

Yes - moving the setMode one to popMode rather than popModeRight fixes this. I'll commit.
