Crashes related to hotkeys and remaps
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
- [ ] I have searched the existing issues
Description
Latest nightly aarch64, Android, when a content is paused with the FPS toggle on, if you use the hotkey to close the FPS meter, RetroArch crashes. I've encountered a couple of other crashes in the last day when editing the remaps with the content paused. Never happened before.

Could we trouble you to try a few of these nightly builds to pinpoint when the behavior started? https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/android/
Urgh I can't right now. Btw, I need to bisect it on a different device or I should uninstall it to downgrade. Btw iirc the latest nightly I installed before the latest one was like 5 days ago and it didn't have this issue, but I might be wrong.
@CometHunter92 I think you'd need to uninstall to downgrade, so it might be easiest to start at the oldest one you care to try. Using another device should be fine, too. It would be nice to see if it's reproduced on that hypothetical other device, too :)
When disable info button option is enabled, pressing the info button(select button) causes retroarch to quit/crash
This messes with the hotkey menu toggle(controller combo) that I set to start+select
