%mv alternate timeout, is it just me? or does this work as defined for others

[jimbilly]

from the docs:
"If you put a number straight after %mv it will be used as a timeout in seconds (e.g %mv2.5 will give a 2.5s timeout) between the volume button being released and the tag going false"

this does not seem to work for me, I'm trying to use it like  %?mv2.5 and that makes the wps fail to load,  %?mv<....  works fine but only lasts for a 1 second timeout.

for troubleshooting I used it without the conditional and that doesn't work as described either:
%mv displays a v for 1 second, no prob.
%mv2.5  displays:   v for 1 second preceding the text 2.5 which is static.

any help would be appreciated.

I am using the latest simulator for the e200 v1, downloaded today to verify it still doesn't seem to work.

Looks like it has been somewhat updated.  I'll try your suggestion.

The manual has been updated, but is missing a couple of the newest tags.  I'll try to get to it soon.

this worked as expected:
%mv(2.5) or %?mv(2.5)

thanks!
