Description

Description

After playing a number of games, the history list is populated with the game that have been played. However, selecting a game from the list loads some other game that does not correspond to the label of the game (but that has been played before).

For example, you have played game A, B, C, D and E. When you select game C from the list, it will load game A, B, D or E instead for no apparent reason.

Exiting RetroArch does not solve the issue but restarting the OS seems to solve it.

Expected behavior

Loading the proper game.

Actual behavior

Loading the wrong game.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Play some games.
  2. Select a game from the history list.
Bisect Results

Since the very beginning.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the RetroArch history list on Lakka/Linux using the reported sequence of played games and the Git 9e25601a56 build. Inspect the history-menu selection path and compare the selected label with the game that loads; done means selecting each history entry consistently opens the corresponding game.
