Details

Whenever the HOLD switch is turned off, the hold icon in rockbox disappears, but hold actually doesn't let go. I can't use any keys until scroling is used. Scrolling left or right is the only thing that actually switches off hold. It can be pretty annoying as I use HOLD a lot.
This task depends upon

Just to note, this bug has been present for *months*. As best I can tell it was created with the fix that kept scroll events from stacking up. So, now you can't accidentally scroll too far and adjust the volume all the way up to +6 because it's a bit laggy, but you get this instead. :)

I have a Nano with the same bug... I know it's not exactly severe, but it's extremely annoying.
Hopefully this will become fixed some point soon ^_^

Could somebody with an iPod please do a quick check with a current build and report back on whether this bug is still present?

Yup, the bug's still present on the current build (as of this post, anyways).

I can reconfirm this bug still exists (iPod Video 60 Gig) r18335 clean install (and earlier r18205)
Easily reproducible in file (tree) browser.

Possibly related problem.

Plug-ins that require you to use the hold to get to the menu frequently show same symptoms (“Whenever the HOLD switch is turned off, the hold icon in rockbox disappears, but hold actually doesn't let go.”) but scrolling doesn’t fix it. Controls are unresponsive. Sometimes after using the hold again or pressing random buttons it will resume function, other times I have to reset (select + menu). It doesn’t always happen but happens a lot in RockBoy especially when you go back and forth to the menu and use a buggy game from PDroms. I've also noticed it in RockDoom r18205 after I've been playing a while.

Good luck with Version 3.0 Thanks everyone for the wonderful firmware.

I would like to reconfirm that this bug is present in sansa e200 series DAPs as well...

Problem still present on both iPod 5.5G and 4G photo with current build

In reference to Eliot using the hold button to access the menu in rockboy is extremely unreliable and often takes more than 10 tries to successfully open the menu
