Bug Description

When trying out the midi wizard, I had a few instances where I would try something, and it wouldn't quite work, so I'd click play, and then try the control again, but now Mixxx thinks I want to learn the play button, and now I'm all messed up. I'm wondering if click-UI-to-learn should be a checkbox in the wizard.

+1

it's also a nice way to show people we support click-UI-to-learn when
they don't read the manual.

In other applications, the whole UI has a colored overlay to make it obvious, that you have a whatever-wizard active that receives input from clicking the UI.
