MaLa issue trying to scroll only ONE game down/up at a time... (skips)

[Justin]

Hello,

Has anyone experienced an issue where using the keyboard up/down buttons, pressing only ONCE on the button causes the list to scroll TWO items?  It basically skips one.

In fact, I have the gamelauncher theme, with the typical sound associated with list moves, and I can hear it 'clicking' twice on such occasions.   

It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen and gets frustrating a little...   I even tap the key VERY quickly, and it still happens.  Any setting to fix this?


Ps.:  on another note, is there a way to make the snaps behind the list appear crisp without any  filtering/antialiasing on the stretching of the image?  It looks VERY FUZZY!  Running 1024x768.

This happens to me too, but I also get the multiple key presses when testing joystick under notepad, etc.

It's a hotrod se control panel (non USB), so that might have something to do with it.  I don't notice any problems with gameplay, but mapping controls in the mame tab menu gives me multiple keypress issues too.

OK I see the issue... I hope the author reads these threads!

  Here's the suggested fix:  Add an option for 'AutoScroll Trigger Delay".    What I wish to do is set the value to this new paramter to 300ms.  This would essentially put a 300ms pause between the first 'item scroll', and the 'repeated scroll' that will occur afterwards.

So, if I hold my joystick down, it will go down ONE item on the list, pause for 300ms, and then it will auto-scroll through the rest of the items at full speed as usual...
GameLauncher used to operate this way, and from what I can tell so do other FEs Ive tried like Gamex.

This way, if you tap your joystick down ONCE, there is a guarantee that you will go down one item and not two or three.  This is especially an issue today with very fast scroll settings like I have for large lists.
