(SOLVED) [BUG?] - "dolphin-master-4.0-5785-x64" and up, hotkey input registered twice

[Kol]

What the Issue Is

When using hotkeys, such as ALT-F5 to reconnect a disconnected controller, SHIFT-F1 to save state, or even ALT-ENTER to toggle fullscreen / window, the input will be exectuted twice rapidly.  

So in the case of doing a save state the emulator will either save twice right in a row or potentially crash / error out.  In the case of ALT-F5, if your controller is shown as disconnected when you press the hotkeys it will connect the control and immediately disconnect it again.  Sometimes when toggling between fullscreen / window it will work correctly, but often it will simply cycle back to the mode you started in.

Controller input works fine and games are playable.  It simply seems to be keyboard hotkey inputs.


How to Duplicate the Issue

Use an effected version and attempt to use a hotkey.  With save state and controlled reconnect it will show the double occurance in the yellow log text at the top left.


Versions Affected

"dolphin-master-4.0-5785-x64" is the version where the problem starts occuring.  All versions I've tested after that, up to the most recent development build, have the problem occuring.


Last Working Version

"dolphin-master-4.0-5772-x64" which is the build just before the problem is introduced works properly where hotkey inputs are registered only once.




Hope thats useful in tracking down the issue... assuming anyone else is even encountering this issue.  I checked around the forums and the google code repository issue tracker and didn't notice anyone saying anything like this.

Would you please try this:

Start up an affected version (i.e. latest dev build), go into Options > Hotkey Settings.  Click "Clear".  Click "Ok".  Start the game.

Let us know if this works for you.

The reason why this occurred is that the Key Shortcut and the Hotkey were assigned to the same keys by Dolphin.  Dolphin responds to both the Key Shortcut and the Hotkey resulting in the double up.  This has now been changed, but the config file that came from the old version might still be hanging around (if those old versions were used at a point in time).

That solved it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Glad I posted in the forums to see if it was something known or easily fixable before posting it in the official tracker.

I wasn't aware of the fact that shortcuts and hotkeys were assigned to the same keys. I was indeed using an older version, "dolphin-master-4.0-5408-x64" to be exact, prior to me trying out the latest build and then tracking down where the issue began.

I was hoping it was something simple and settings related. If new users are able to I'll edit the original postings thread title to mark it as solved.

Thanks once again for the quick and easy solution.
