Menu button no longer works from "controls Menu" while in a CIQ app

Until this latest update of the FR935 (9.1), you could bring up the System menu even while in a CIQ app by first holding the on/off button to bring up the "controls menu", then pressing and holding the menu button. This no longer works. It was particularly useful if you wanted to change system settings or control sensors while in a CIQ app.

Is this a feature? Was the ability to do this a bug before? Is there any other way to bring up the system menu while in a CIQ app?

I wasn't aware you could do this in the past, but to me, it sounds like it was a bug fixed in 9.10.

I suspect that there are things that some CIQ app might not handle well if you change some of the settings while they are running.

I too was surprised it worked. But I used it quite a few times without issue. If not a feature, it was a very useful bug.

While it might work with your apps, it could cause problems with others. If things like the units change while an app is running, for example.

At one time on f5 like devices, using the menu key would also allow a user to change settings while a CIQ app was running, but that was removed for the same reason.
