When LEFT and RIGHT arrows are used to move along eJukebox lists, is there a way to prevent the scroll to continue immediately after the key is
released?
Currently it seems eJ don't care about the time where the key is released, so the moving continue too far... In fact, I think it continue until
the keyboard buffer be empty. It's a bit annoying because it's too
imprecise, especially for long lists.

We are looking into this.

Pirk,
I am almost sure we have made the LEFT and RIGHT keys work the best we can.

OK. I think the problem lies within the cpu not being able to update the selection change on the screen fast enough for the keyboard repeat rate.
We have updated eJukebox so it will ignore the excessive keydown messages. Basically throwing them out when the last selection change hasn't been
drawn to the screen yet. Hopefully that will correct this problem for most people. Our initial tests suggest that it will. The most striking change
for us was when using the UP and DOWN keys on the Album List (these keys only function for selection when you are not grouping by Artist)...it used to
scroll on forever after releasing the key - now it stops immediately.
However, if your CPU or VIDEO card is to slow - it may not update the screen as fast as it should...so there still may be some extra scrolling do to
the non-ejukebox video buffer getting full.
Hopefully this will fix the problem for you, under v3.18, or atleast reduce the amount of extra scrolling.
Audiosoft,
Unfortunately for me, the continued scrolling problem isn't reduced by this new release (3.18), even that get worse.
I'll try to explain the result on my (too old) computer:
-Home page: The right and left scroll speed is good, the stop on release is almost immediate. All is OK on the home page.
-Album list: The left and right keys scroll speed is also good, but when the key is released that stop (depending the lenght before release) until 54
albums too far! That was well better on 3.12.
-Song list: The right and left scroll speed is now too much slow on long lists. The stop on release isn't immediate at all, on long lists that is
a desaster. I notice, SINCE THIS VERSION, more the list is long, more the scrolling get slow. In extreme cases (depending the lenght before release
the key) the scroll continue until almost without end. That can monopolize my computer for a long time before ending to stop. The functioning was also
well better before.
I am sorry to be boring with that.
Thanks,
Pirk
OK,
I guess we will have to look into this some more. Are you using eJukebox on a LCD monitor?
