Don't do that then ;)
Yeah I know, we have been lazy and not fixed this bug.

Yes a newly introduced bug, though it is easy to fix so I will do it
in a couple of days. File->Exit does work if you have started playing
a dvd, right ?

run 'ogle --debug' and send the log to  us.

Ok, I'll guess I have to fix it then. How often do you enter
a number and not follow that with another action?
As it is now the number is used only for the next action, maybe
I forgot to reset it after each action and that is the problem?
But I can see the problem where you start to enter a number, do something
else and forget that you have entered the number and then you are
'surprised' by the next action that uses that number.
The skip (pgup/dn) action also remembers the last skiptime used
so if you entered 30 and then skip it will use 30 the next time you skip,
if you don't enter a number. To get back to the default skiptime,
enter 0 and skip.

Yes I think chapter skip doesn't skip between titles anymore because of some
navigation issues, but it should be fixed so it can do that.
If the copyright notice is a 'still' you can skip past it by pressing
'p' (Play), that will turn still off.
