Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
Using Amarok 1.3.8 on Ubuntu 6.06 on a Dell Inspiron 6000. Xine engine with oss.
Using Settings, Configure Global Shortcuts, I have set the Next Track and Previous Track functions to be the appropriate keys on the front of my Inspiron laptop (FX86AudioNext, FX86AudioPrev). These work appropriately. However, if you ever hold down the key for more than about a third of a second it will keep on scrolling through the list and playing the first second of each song indefinitely until another hotkey is used to stop it. The program does not respond normally to the mouse.
This is particularly bad when the dynamic playlist is activated, as the playlist never ends and the only way to bring Amarok back to life is to kill it with cntl-alt-delete and start it again.
I hope this bug is fixable. Please report similar experiences with other laptops/keyboards.
