My friend lent me his laptop with VDJ7 and a traktor kontrol x1 for a few months while he's gone travelling. I've mapped a button to "deck 1 level 0% while_pressed" and another to "deck 2 level 0% while_pressed". They work fine on their own. The problem is that when I juggle between the two buttons (so they're sometimes pressed simultaneously), one of the actions will get jammed. Any idea what the problem is?

It's one of the pitfalls of more common for keyboard use,
I actually use it as an effect , I've got 2 buttons, 1 drops (while_pressed) the key -3 the other +3, using this glitch I can keep a track at a different key.
I also use the ctrl key to make sweeps, I've a buttom that drops the filter -3% on repeat, if I press the ctrl key while pressing this key, and let go for the key before ctrl the command is sticks,
If anything sticks the solution is normally hit the stuck key again, It's caused problems for me in the past but I take advantage of the glitch too often to report it as a bug.

That's pretty f*cked up that it wasn't fixed. It would massively mess up my mixing. I'll take a look at Traktor instead.

This issue is present in version 7 but not in version 8. While_pressed works fine in ver 8 even if more than 1 buttons/keys are pressed or released at the same time.
loco, what you stated as an issue with the CTRL key is different. If the CTRL key is released before the other key then the CTRL+KEY is still considered pressed. You can probably add some "security" parameter when the key is released even if the CTRL is or not.
