[mythtv] Ticket #9658: Pressing F1 while viewing program info causes hang-like behaviour

[John Veness]

 From http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9658 :
> Description:
>
> Steps to reproduce:
>
> 1, Go into Watch Recordings
> 2, Highlight any recording
> 3, Press I
> 4, Press F1
>
> At this point the frontend seems to hang. You cannot scroll the program info window up or down and cannot press Esc to back out. However, a second press of F1 brings it back to life.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the explanation. I don't use the web browser in MythTV so 
wasn't aware of the F1/TOGGLEINPUT behaviour. However, as far as I can 
tell, the program info window doesn't have anywhere in it that accepts 
input, unlike a web page, so can you not tell the widget to ignore the 
TOGGLEINPUT when appropriate?

In my case, I found this problem in the program info window when I 
accidentally pressed F1 instead of Esc on a keyboard due to their close 
proximity. As nothing appeared on screen, I thought it had hung. Maybe 
an alternative fix would be for an some kind of indication when 
TOGGLEINPUT has been pressed, although as I say, in this particular 
screen I don't think TOGGLEINPUT should do anything.

Cheers,

John
