Another user brought up a problem that after applying a script of mine the skin hotcues just rewrote themselves,

after some messing about I was able to recreate it

Have this script on a custom

pause ? has_cue 2 ? cue_play 2 & play while_pressed : hot_cue 2 : hot_cue 2

Pause the track, press the button, keep pressing the button
Now all on skin cues will rewrite themselves until V8 is restarted

That script is WRONG and therefore it's normal to misbehave.

cue_play as an action will preview the deck as long as you keep the button pressed and if you keep it pressed for more than 2 secs it will start the deck (in other words the track won't return to the cuepoint when you release the button)
So basically on cue_play 2 & play while_pressed part you use contradicting functions. You should either use "cue_play 2" or "goto_cue 2 & play while_pressed"

I already posted on another thread that you should avoid the "while_pressed" expression when you use actions that by default act in a temporary way.
For instance "cue 2" will preview the cuepoint 2 while you keep the button pressed. There's no need to use "cue 2 while_pressed"

Spotted that reply, replied there (I hadn't seen this reply then) I don't want to cross post so kill this thread.
