No matter what the timeout, that could happen.

So either you need a different dedicated key to exit viewing rather
than cancel menus, or you use the same button (info in this case) to both
display and undisplay the OSD (which is apparently already the case).

Certainly having a seperate 'exit to menu' other than escape might
be desirable, or having confirmation before doing so.  I haven't looked
if that is currently possible or not.
