The status bar at the bottom of the Jive screen updates automagically to
reflect changes to the status of Shuffle and Repeat, etc. but the actual
menu items for Shuffle and Repeat in the Settings menu don't. So if it
says for example 'Shuffle Off' and you press the SHUFFLE button on the
SqueezeBox remote, a pop-up appears at the bottom of the Jive screen
showing 'Shuffle by Song' and the Shuffle icon appears, but the menu
still lists 'Shuffle Off'. Clicking 'right' on the menu item to select
it also still only advances to 'Shuffle Song' as opposed to 'Shuffle
Album' (i.e. no change to the actual shuffle state).

Going back and checking I notice that a similar behaviour exists on the
SqueezeBox itself. If I go to Settings->Shuffle-> I see 'Don't Shuffle
Playlist', with a dot in the circle and if then on Jive I change
shuffle, the dot stays, but when I press 'down' on the SqueezeBox
remote the dot is in the circle for the next position (Shuffle by Song)
and pressing 'up' again the dot is now gone from the circle (as is to be
expected).

The problem is worse on Jive though since navigating around the menu
(e.g. going to the home screen and then going back into settings) still
doesn't update the menu to the correct status.

Is this a bug, or is it inevitable behaviour? It would seem that if the
status bar can update to reflect changes made elsewhere then so could
the menu. Also, on the SqueezeBox, if I'm looking at the
Settings->Shuffle-> menu and I press the shuffle button, the screen
does update correctly (although probably only because it blanks
completely to show the info message e.g. 'SHUFFLE BY SONG' and then
refreshes).
