Sorry, I don't think there's anything I can do about it. The keyboard just 
sends a KEYCODE_ESCAPE key event, and then it's up to the OS and application to 
decide what to do with that event.

It appears that your device chooses to interpret ESC as a global media hotkey, 
possibly with the intent of working with a hardware keyboard that has a 
dedicated key for that which happens to send the ESC keycode.

You'll need to take this up with the people who make the OS build. If you have 
a hardware keyboard, it would be interesting to try that to see if it's 
affected by the same problem - I'm pretty sure it'll be the same.

Ok, I thought I'd see if it was more common than just my build. Thanks for the 
help! Great app!
