if a pause until released is sent then it would still work with multiple taps of volume as the xp8 has separate macro and IR engines, meaning it can be running a macro and executing separate ir/rs232 commands. meaning if the command is on the button and not in the macro the volume will still work and resend the macro which would reset the delay before the clear popup flag is issued, basically the popup stays on the screen for however many seconds you delay for after the last button tap.
