[VCDImager Bugs/Devel] too many buttons mapped?

I recently got access to a Thomson DTH500 player which apparently can play SVCDs even though it's not official branded as being compatible. Anyways.. so I created a couple of VCDs and SVCDs using VCDEasy and DVD2SVCD. The former worked just fine, the latter had a problem that when I pressed the button on the remote to advance by a chapter it wouldn't work.

After a few test version I now have a private beta of dvd2svcd (it uses 0.7.12pre of vcdimager btw.. and you've been talking to the author before so you problably know exactly what's going on with that prog anyways) where I can use both forward and backward by chapter buttons. I can also use the numerical buttons to select chapters. So far so good.. now everything works nicely until I press one of the navigational buttons on the remote (you know.. up, down, left right).. while that will allow me to jump thru the chapters (up/down) and then I can access the selected chapter by pressing the center key of the navigational buttons (enter).. and the left/right buttons would allow me to advance by a chapter (or go back by a chapter).. as soon as I touch one of these buttons I can no longer use any button to move forward by a chapter.. the numerical buttons still work.. but chapter foward doesn't. Furthermore.. I can't change the audio track or activate/change subtitle tracks because as soon as I use one of the navigational buttons (which I have to to select another audio track... just the way the player works).. I get the chapter selection using the up/down button again. So.. I'm thinking something is wrong with the key mapping. These navigational buttons should never be mapped to these chapter functions in the first place (they cannot be used when watching DVDs.. only to navigate the menus). I've been into DVD authoring before this and from there I know how hard it can be to set up a fully working disc.. and to make sure every button is properly mapped (or demapped from a certain functionality).
