The intention has always been for the button to be disabled, whether clicked or by hotkey. This was visually shown when the button is gray/muted for “disabled” and a darker color for “active”. The bug was the fact you were able to play it when it was “disabled”, by hotkey or by click. All the hotkey does is simulate a click on the button.
This was how it was intended. The change has already been made. Disputing it won’t change what has resulted. So let’s focus on what can be done next.
Along with the other use cases I will share yours with the other decision makers. With a better understanding of how it is being then we may come up with a solution. That is all I can promise right now.
Thanks for the suggestions. Will keep these in mind.
