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.
