Sorry, I've lost you.
The device docs says Long Power powers down the player.
In the sim, it doesn't. All other device buttons work - just not this one.
Llorean:
Yes. As I said, it sounds like the fact that this doesn't work is a problem. And then, later, you asked me if it should work.
Obviously if it's a problem that it doesn't work, that means it should work. I quoted my mentioning of the fact that its not working was a problem in the hopes that you'd realized I'd already acknowledged the point.

No. I'd say there's a separate problem in the failure of Long Power to power down the simulated device. I would not expect it to close the window, esp. since that would prevent Powering the device back again e.g. to test fixed .CFG.

Okay, since the simulator is a simulator it is kind of limited in exactly what it can and can't do by nature. It can't give you any idea how the hardware should perform since it's not running on that hardware, and is not an emulator of that hardware. It is a simulator of the rockbox interface for that particular device and is intended to showcase how the interface works.
In reality its best use (as far as I'm concerned anyway) is for making themes for the device in question, and any other use really would be any bug testing that's not dependent directly on the hardware. As such, having the interface act exactly like the hardware isn't entirely necessary as long as the simulator has controls appropriate to the available buttons on the hardware in order to control the interface (ie. navigation, volume control, etc.).
