Using the Key release to trigger the selection isn't the problem. It's
just the wrong (the "enter menu") key release that triggers the selection.

Me neither, it was only for experimentation. And it currently is (at
least here) the only way to use the Menu at all. If I press On+Play and
release both, the first Item in the Menu (Remove) is activated immediately.

Yes, I thought that was some kind of standard behaviour: Press and
release on+play buttons to enter the menu, select item with up and down
buttons, activate item and leave menu by pressing and releasing play
button.
As opposed to how it works now:
Press on+play, only release on button, select item with up and down
buttons while keeping the play button pressed and release the play
button to activate the item. It's prone to breaking peoples fingers or
something ;)

You should be able to recreate the problem I have by:
- Play a Playlist
- Menu (F1)-> Playlist Options -> View Current Playlist -> On+Play

bye
