To be specific, the remapping-action (eg. in my case running a ps1-script) works just fine, it's just that on release there shouldn't be anything happening at all

Ok, the issue seems only when action is "Run Program", and not otherwise.

Ok, the issue seems only when action is "Run Program", and not otherwise.

In my case, it's definitely also present when using "Open URI". And to my knowledge these are the only ways to run a script.
