Apparently within the WPS context menu some submenus (for example, sound

Meanwhile others (like Playlist) cannot. Attempting to leave them by

root menu. JdGordon says this was intentional at some point.
I think this is indeed intentional.

There is even a special macro to mark a menu as an "onplay" menu.
I actually tried to make this more consistent (it was easily possible
to make it completely consistent) in FS#9037

Well, your patch is committed, and it is still very inconsistent.

I don't think it's intentional actually. IIRC the "classic" items always left to the WPS. At some point some items where replaced with the ones that are used in the normal menus too (so the WPS context menus doesn't duplicate the code), but these don't leave to the WPS directly (the IMO preferred behavior).



Can anyone explain the rational behind why we should have menus that
work normally going "right" but inexplicably don't when going "left" or
is this something we can fix going forward rather than preserving it as
a bad behaviour?
I don't know the rationale and wouldn't mind removing this special
behaviour.

Kind regards,

Same here. I would rather to have all menus act so that pressing left means going back 1 level, not completely to the WPS.
