[Scope Control] Scope Directional Buttons Persistently Stick When Controlling Orion SkyQuest XX12G

Occasionally I have an issue where I "nudge" the scope when centering a target in the eyepiece. If I do this anywhere from once to 3-4 times the scope will just start slewing in whatever direction I was moving it after I stop touching the directional arrow. My scope is a Dobsonian so I see this on both the Altimuth as well as Azimuth. It seems to happen more on Az than Alt. Touching a directional arrow again will stop the slewing. I've seen this since SkySafari 6. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Orion SkyQuest XX12G w/ WiFi & SynScan Control Android 13/OneUI 5.1 SkySafari Pro 7.1.8.0 Beta SynScan Pro 2.0.0

  Hi Mike, 

  If bandwidth permits, please try reinstalling the app, see if that makes a difference - likely not, but just in case.

  Thanks for the report.

  Hi Keiron,

  I have seen it across multiple devices and Android OS's. On my S22 Ultra I have seen it across multiple installs as well. There is another post, I believe in the Beta Test forum, where another user mentioned seeing it in SS6, too.
