Holy Cow. 

Ok, This is the problem - > This is quite stupid too. 

The "active button" (Ill call it) color in the play menu looks to be
different. I was actually switching to "DONE" instead of "PLAY". How
stupid is that??? I think the reason I was is that the color arrangement
is reversed on the other menus. That could have confused me. Using the
default theme here too. 

Im awful sorry to bother the list with such a stupid problem. I feel
rather dumb now.
