Impossible to disable "follow PC" in the disassembly view when MSX software is running #1644

When running (most) MSX software, it is impossible to disable "follow PC" in the disassembly view, because it's jumping all around and you can't get the menu to disable it. Workaround: pause emulation first.

But, I think the issue here is that the context menu contains 2 types of items: with the current line context and with the whole window context. Follow-PC is the latter (it's just a setting for the view independent on the current line) and because it is grouped with line-context sensitive options, it cannot be properly changed, because the current line is constantly changing...

Suggestion: move the line independent items to an 'options' menu of this window?
