I have a single-seat install.

After performing lots of UI operations such as watching live TV, skipping ahead, going back, watching recorded TV, then watching My Videos, then switching to My Weather and viewing satellite images, etc., I end up getting several instances of MediaPortal Test Tool running in the background. At this point, (not sure if it's related to the several test tool instances), number entry in the TV guide via the MCE remote and a regular keyboard stops working.

I can reproduce this bug over and over and I've tested it with the BlueTwo Wide, Indigo, and Xface skins.

Not sure if there's any useful information in the attached logs. I'll try to generate debug-level logs in the meantime.

Well, I turned up logging level to debug and did all kinds of UI interactions and couldn't reproduce the issue last night at debug level. Funny thing is I run into this bug quite consistently during normal usage.

One thing's for sure, whenever I go to Weather, another instance of MP Test Tool gets launched. At one point, I had over a dozen MP Test Tool instances running in the background!

Eventually, the number input stops working, but I'm not entirely certain it's related to the many MP Test Tool instances.

UPDATE: Ok, the problem re-occurred and this time I had debug level logs. Attached here.
