Topic: Jog Wheel changes to browser selector and can't figure out what I pressed

I have a hercule 4mx controller and occasionally I have had it where I must push or push and hold a button or possibly even a keyboard key and all of a sudden my jog dials change to scrolling through the browser. I can't figure out what I did to change it back without closing and restarting vdj8. It changes for both decks 1 and 2, but if I switch my controller to 3 and 4 they still behave normally.

I know there has to be something I can press to change it back, or if I can at least figure out what I am pressing to change it I can avoid it. I am using the mapper that I downloaded from the downloads here, but if someone knows what I am pressing, or at least can tell me what to look at in my mappings settings to find out what is mapped to whatever this feature/function is called I can find the key or button and replicate it and figure out how to undo it.

Thanks.

Its the UP/DOWN buttons of the 4MX that put the Jogwheels to Browser mode, while those are pressed. When released, the Jogwheels should return to the Jog mode, but a combined press could lead to Browser mode after release.
If you dont use the Jogwheels to scroll through tracks/folders, you can change the actions of UP/DOWN from...
UP : deck left wheel_mode 'browser' while_pressed & deck right wheel_mode 'browser' while_pressed & repeat 100ms 500ms & browser_scroll -1
DOWN : deck left wheel_mode 'browser' while_pressed & deck right wheel_mode 'browser' while_pressed & repeat 100ms 500ms & browser_scroll +1
to ...
UP : browser_scroll -1 & repeat 100ms 500ms & browser_scroll -1
DOWN : browser_scroll +1 & repeat 100ms 500ms & browser_scroll +1

Thanks this was it, apparently a long press on the up down forces the jog wheels to stay in browse mode. An additional long press gets me out of it as well.
