setting markers bug in 1.3.10?

[Polleke]

As concluded in this topic: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8021
there apparently was a bug in an earlier version of 1.3 putting markers at 00:00 when hitting M for the second time.
Now, in 1.3.10 I was happily surprised to see this bug is fixed! (hurray for the developing team!!! Keep up the good work!)
Then I started to fiddle around with some settings the way I like them:

R = record
P = play
S = stop
spacebar = pause
M = marker

Now there seems to occur a similar bug (?)
The following happens: when you are recording (with the above settings) and set markers on the fly everything is fine, until you hit the S button. It doesn't stop the recording, but puts a marker at 00:00! When you give this marker a name, hit enter, again S, then it stops recording.
When recording without setting markers, hitting S stops recording immediately.

Am I right, or am I going crazy? (If I wasn't already )

btw OS =WinXP SP3

Confirmed on Linux with Audacity 1.3.10 beta and 1.3.11 alpha.
It appears to be the same if you use any single letter for play/stop.
I'll put in a bug report.

Thanks, Steve. I've marked it as a P3 bug, as was the previous bug where using unmodified M for adding a label at the playback position added a label at the cursor position. Note that the problem is currently the same if you press P for Pause (which is its default shortcut), or any other unmodified character. M will create a label at the playback position if it has not been set as the "add label at playback position" shortcut.

The problem is basically the same as before, that we want the ability to type a character in the label track when it has focus by just clicking and typing in it (without the use of a shortcut). And ideally, we want to be able to do that when playing or recording too. So for now, the workaround is the same as before - use up arrow instead of ENTER, then you can't add a label with an unmodified character unless you have explicitly set a shortcut to do so.

Another workaround (which may be a clue to a solution) is to CTRL + B to add a label at the point you want to play from. That will always prevent the bug occurring, as long as you start playback from the point where you added the CTRL + B label.
