The odds here must be pretty high, but I triggered this "bug" just a few minutes ago, and I thought I'd drop a note in here even though it's probably not worth even spending the time to fix. In a way, it's more of an unforeseen event sequence than a bug, but here it is anyway.
At 9pm, a program I was recording had ended, but since there are 1-minute pads on either end, it was still going to record for about minute or so. I had watched it while it was recording, and so I had no use for it. Rather than let the recording finish (stopping me from deleting it until comskip was done) I went into the menu system to cancel it -- as I've done hundreds of times.
I have quite a few pending programs, so the pending list was long. The next pending program was Stargate Atlantis, scheduled to begin at 10pm (or 9:59pm with the pre-padding.)
Program 1: 7:59pm - 9:01pm
Program 2: 9:59pm - 11:01pm
It's 9:00pm (and change), with me trying to cancel program 1 that I no longer need, the following happened:
With the program 1 still recording, I went to the pending screen, selected the program, chose cancel, and the confirmation dialog appeared.
The very next thing to happen after the dialog appeared, was that the *current* (program 1) recording ended at 9:01 (just as it should) -- I was a little slow I guess -- and it disappeared off the pending list which I could still see in the background *behind* the cancel confirmation. The entire list shifted upwards, with the next pending program (at 10pm, not for another 59 minutes) took the place (physically on the screen) of the program I was trying to cancel.
As this happened all within a 1-2 second period, my finger was already on the button and I selected "OK" on the cancel confirmation dialog -- it was too late for me to realize what had happened and just hit "cancel" on the dialog instead.
The cancellation was confirmed, but with the previous program now gone from the list, it ended up canceling the 10pm program that had replaced it.
So, in effect, rather than the dialog canceling program 1, which I had launched the dialog from, it canceled program 2 instead.
I went back and rescheduled it from the guide, of course, and all is fine, but that's awfully weird behavior, and I thought you might want to know.
