Kodi Community Forum - In some cases, backspace doesn't properly return to Home

Hi all,

I originally presented this issue in the reFocus sub-forum however I can reproduce this under confluence as well w/ a fresh Kodi 14.0 install.

First, to expose the backspace/return issue I did the following:
- Created favorites for the built-in video library playlists "In progress TV shows" and "Recently added movies"
- Here's the favourites.xml that was automatically generated by creating these favorites

Code:
<favourites>

    <favourite name="In progress TV shows" thumb="DefaultInProgressShows.png">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;library://video/inprogressshows.xml/&quot;,return)</favourite>

    <favourite name="Recently added movies" thumb="DefaultRecentlyAddedMovies.png">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;library://video/recentlyaddedmovies.xml/&quot;,return)</favourite>

</favourites>

To reproduce the issue, do the following:
1. Go to Favourites > In progress TV shows
2. Once loaded, press Backspace which returns to the Home screen
3. Again, go to Favourites > In progress TV shows
4. Once loaded, press Backspace. This time however instead of returning to the Home screen the playlist is re-loaded
5. Press Backspace again, instead of returning to the Home screen the playlist's parent directory (video library) is loaded
6. Press Backspace again to get back to the home screen

Note: The above happens with either favorite. Pressing Escape (instead of backspace) will of course return to the Home screen. I've reproduced this with both OpenElec v5.0.0 and Kodi 14.0 running on Windows 7 x64.

I'll work on posting a video showing the unexpected behavior.

The fix has been merged to nightly builds (wiki) and the v14.1 test builds. There aren't any OE test builds, but there are Windows ones, if you could test to see if it's fixed there: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=213108
