CAMERA CONTROL on BF 4.3, difficult to enter the menu, or select the right line in the OSD.

[corrado-c]

Describe the bug

after upgrading 3 quads to BF4.3, I found that CAMERA CONTROL works bad or not working (with BF4.2 is ok). Trying to change camera_control_key_delay = 100 there were improvements. When I enter the menu, it sometimes goes directly to the next submenu. the menu goes up with a high stick but does not go down with a low stick. Sometimes with the stick in the center it scrolls up for a few seconds. I will post the settings of one of the 3 quads .
I hope I compile everything correctly :)

To Reproduce

simply try to change the camera settings from the remote control.

Expected behavior

correct and simple operation of camera control from OSD via radio control.

Try BF 4.3 RC2 and see if the problem still persists.

I tried now, the same

@SteveCEvans Do we need a PR to make cam control work? Some schedulerIgnoreTask stuff?

[SteveCEvans]

@corrado-c Can you please provide timer and timer show outputs. The only change here has been to the priority of the CAMCTRL task. The image below bumps this up from TASK_PRIORITY_LOWEST to TASK_PRIORITY_LOW. Could you please give that a try
betaflight_4.3.0_STM32F7X2_norevision.hex.zip

here I am! I was able to put my hand only now.
if I am able, I am happy to do all the tests I can

why closed?

[KarateBrot]

It was auto closed because the linked PR got closed, I reckon. Reopening as it seems the problem was not solved.

[SteveCEvans]

@corrado-c Can you please check if this works using defaults plus receiver settings only. I note that your config includes set camera_control_key_delay = 110. Please test the fix again with defaults.

[corrado-c]

Sure I have tried several times differently, using defaults plus receiver settings only, using backup, using full chip erase, and I have also tried different values of camera_control_key_delay 100 to 200.
to be safe I repeated the flash now, Unfortunately same situation.

hi, but can I do some other tests?

@corrado-c please check with latest development firmware available. (Don't forget to update configurator nightly first)
