Description

Description

It works well when you don't have a playlist while using RetroArk, but after creating a playlist, you can't pass the navigation icon in the menu of RetroArk, and you pause for a while before the program shuts down.

Expected behavior

I've repeatedly changed the characters inside the playlist, but if there's no playlist, it works fine, and if there's a playlist, I can't go past the navigation icon and it ends.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Download and install the retro arc from the homepage.
  2. Install the dos pure core and put the dos games in the rompolder.
  3. Make me search for the game and add it to doslpl to make a playlist.
  4. If you move the menus after the playlist is created, it does not necessarily pass the navigation icon, is stopped, and then the program ends.

my file > dos.lpl

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in RetroArch using the attached dos.lpl playlist and the DOSBox-Pure core, then inspect the menu-navigation path after a playlist is created. Confirm the behavior with and without a playlist; done means moving past the navigation icon no longer pauses and exits RetroArch.
